<p>There are several possibilities depending upon what you mean.</p>
<p>Personally, I have a zpool on the host that I carve off
individual zfs filesystems that each guest uses. I put one qcow2
or raw image per zfs filesystem. I do this for backup and
replication purposes. Then I have a recursive replication from
this host to another so that I can boot up any of the VMs should
the primary VM server goes down. Works great.</p>
<p>So, you can share the host zfs with the guest as the file/path
for its virtual root</p>
<p>but you can also share it as just another directory device</p>
<p>or you could share it via NFS</p>
<p>or, if you wanted to (but I'm not sure why you would
necessarily), you could share it via ISCSI</p>
