Does anyone know more about NFS and OmniOS specifically?

I found an article 
http://www.howtoforge.com/high_availability_nfs_drbd_heartbeat_p3 that moves
/var/lib/nfs to the datastore then uses ls to create a symbolic link to 
the new location.

As far as I can tell OmniOS uses /var/nfs which contains V4_state

Any other directories need to be moved?  That one alone didn't get it done.
