Goal

Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4 has added support for:

Cluster File System with ZFS

With this new feature, you can now make ZFS file systems accessible from multiple nodes and run applications from the same file systems simultaneously on those nodes. It must be noted that zpool for globally mounted ZFS file systems does not actually mean a global ZFS pool, instead there is a Cluster File System layer that is present on top of ZFS that makes the file systems of the ZFS pool globally accessible.
 

There are two ways of configuring a zpool for globally mounted ZFS file systems:

Method-1: Using device group
Method-2: Using HAStoragePlus resource
