Hi, I have done the following (which is required for my case)
Created a zpool (smpool) on a device/LUN from an array (IBM 6K) on host1 created a array level snapshot of the device using "dscli" to another device which is successful. Now I make the snapshot device visible to another host (host2) I tried "zpool import smpool". Got a warning message that host1 is using this pool (might be the smpool metata data has stored this info) and asked to use "-f" When i tried zpool import with -f option, I am able to successfully import to host2 and able to access all file systems and snapshots. My query is in this scenario is always safe to use "-f" to import ?? would there be any issues ? Also I have observed that zpool import took some time to for successful completion. Is there a way minimize "zpool import -f" operation time ??
