I've also found it handy to use different names for each rpool. Sometimes it's handy to boot an image that's entirely on a removable disk, for example, and move that between hosts. The last thing you want is a name clash or confusion about which pool is which. In addition to the "import name" of the pool, there's another name that needs to be changed. This is the "boot name" of the pool; it's the name grub looks for in the "findroot(pool_rpool,...)" line. That name is found in the root fs of the pool, in ./etc/bootsign (so typically mounted at /poolname/etc/bootsign). -- Dan.
