Multiple hosts writing to the same pool won't work, but you could indeed
have two pools, one for each host, in a dual active-passive arrangement.
That is, you dual-attach the storage with host A talking to pool A and
host B talking to pool B. If host A fails, it can 'zpool import -f B'
to start serving up the B data. HA-ZFS (part of SunCluster 3.2) will
automate this, but for now you can roll your own along these lines.
Cool. Does this method require assigning each disk to one pool or the other, or
can disks be divided into partitions before pool assignment?
