Did you see this PDF?

   It includes this slide:
----------
ZFS, Zones, iSCSI
* Virtualization is a double edged sword,
consolidating 8 onto 1 means 8 die when 1
does. Maintenance is that more serious
and costly.
* Solution: Each zone is created in a thinly
provisioned ZVol on a Thumper, exported
as an iSCSI Target, imported on a given
system, and run.
* The New Problem: Managing hundreds of
iSCSI Targets and ZVol's with containers in
them from one box.
