Definitely not a silly question.  And no, we create the pool on node1 then set 
up the cluster resources.  Once setup, sun cluster manages importing/exporting 
the pool into only the active cluster node.   Sorry for the lack of clarity.. 
not much sleep has been had recently.

When connecting to our SAS tray with a single box and with the pool 
configuration as stated and SSD's in the pool as slog devices everything works 
as it should.  When connecting the second box AND when the SSDs are in the 
pool, there are tons of SCSI resets and even some panics on the nodes.  With 
the sas tray connected to both nodes and no ssds everything works as it should. 
 

Sorry for the confusion,

Steve Jost
