Are those really your requirements? What is it that you're trying to accomplish with the data? Make a copy and provide to an other host?

Hi I am looking in similar lines,

my requirement is

1. create a zpool on one or many devices ( LUNs ) from an array ( array can be 
IBM or HPEVA or EMC etc.. not SS7000).
2. Create file systems on zpool
3. Once file systems are in use (I/0 is happening) I need to take snapshot at 
array level
  a. Freeze the zfs flle system ( not required due to zfs consistency : source 
: mailing groups)
  b. take array snapshot ( say .. IBM flash copy )
  c. Got new snapshot device (having same data and metadata including same GUID 
of source pool)

   Now I need a way to change the GUID and pool of snapshot device so that the 
snapshot device can be accessible on same host or an alternate host (if the LUN 
is shared).

Could you please post commands for the same.

Regards,
sridhar.
