It looks like the default location for ZFS VMs replication is in rpool/data is there a way to change that? I have a second ZFS pool on my machines that are much bigger where as the rpool pool is simply not large enough to fit the VMs I want to replicate.

Hi,
PVE will replicate to the same storage where the volumes are on the source node and for
PVE will replicate to the same storage where the volumes are on the source node and for
local-zfs that is indeed /rpool/data. Sadly it's not yet possible to specify a different mapping for replication; there is an open feature request for this.Well I suppose that is both good news and bad news in my case, the two nodes which I want to replicate between are identical. However I named the matching ZFS pools on each node differently (i.e. Node A - ZFSA, Node B -ZFSB). Is it safe to rename a ZFS pool ?
Usually yes, just make sure nothing is using the pool, and best to disable the storage in PVE too. Then export the pool and import again with a new name, i.e.
zpool export <currentname> and zpool import <currentname> <newname>. And now you can update the storage configuration for PVE with the new name. On subsequent imports the new name will be used automatically.
