Hi Alexandre,

I wrote about this specific use case on my blog recently:
http://zfs-create.blogspot.com/
I really need to pull myself together for the part 2 explaining iSCSI
failover, but part 1 which is already up should help you a long way to
get a clustered omnios installation up and running and sharing NFS.

Cheers,
