Hi, I was just wondering following idea, I guess somebody mentioned something similar and I’d like some thoughts on this.

1. create iscsi volume on Node-A and mount it locally with iscsiadm
2.       create pool with this local iscsi-share
3.       create iscsi volume on Node-B and share it to Node-A
4. create mirror from both disks on Node-A; zpool attach foopool localiscsivolume remotevolume

Why not? After quick test it seems to fail and resilver like it should when nodes fail. Actual failover needs to be done manually though, but am I missing something relevant here?

This is more complicated than the more commonly used, simpler method:
        1. create iscsi volume on Node-B, share to Node-A
        2. zpool create mypool mirror local-vdev iscsi-vdev
