Hello all!
I have two ZFS pools:
rpool is located on a fast SSD zpool and should hold the main operating systems and running containers.
stor1 is a zpool located on regular HDDs and should hold data.
When downloading images and ISOs, they're ending up on the main rpool, which is a waste of fast storage. Is there a way to set the template storage to my stor1 pool?

Select which content will be stored on each pool under
Datacenter > Storage

Edit: @news was a little faster (but i have a nice image ;-) )

Note that the ZFS storage type cannot store files such as ISOs. Create a Directory storage and point it to a dataset's mount point. Check zfs list to see it.
Only enable the content types you need. Don't store guest disks on Directory if you can help it.
