did i miss something in the documentation ?

I want to use vm replication (storage replication) as i have a cluster without performant shared storage
so on one node i have a local zfs volume named zfs on the target node i have a local zfs volume named zfs1
when creating and starting a replication job it errors out with "(remote_prepare_local_job) storage 'zfs' is not available on node 'pvexx' "
also how do i set the destination storage in the replication job as in the gui i can only select the target node but no storage ?

@Christian Kraus If you want to do ZFS storage replication, I think the zpool name should be identical. Maybe I am wrong but that's how I understand.

maybe (did not test with different zfs pool names)
but i found out the magic (should be in the documentation i think)
you have to enable the zfs storage id on both cluster nodes - then magicaly the same storage id is created on the target node and there on the local zfs pool !!!!!!!

now it works
