ZFS assertion failed for SAN devices

This was frustrating:

# zpool import nas2
Assertion failed: rn->rn_nozpool == B_FALSE, file ../common/libzfs_import.c, line 1086, function zpool_open_func

Discovered that I needed to tell zpool where to look for the devices:

# zpool import -d /devices/scsi_vhci nas2

There was a time when I would have known that already, if we still used Solaris in any way at work. I wish the error message was more descriptive. Considering asking about it on the openindiana or illumos mailing lists.
