OpenIndiana is a robust enterprise operating system, based on the illumos kernel. When Oracle dropped OpenSolaris, many developers regrouped to form OpenIndiana. It is open source, free to use, community developed, and suitable for servers and desktops. OpenIndiana aims to be binary and package compatible with the upcoming Solaris 11, and most of the operating system is built from source code that Oracle continues to make available.

OpenIndiana ZFS with shareiscsi property missing
I'm trying to present a ZFS file system as an iSCSI target. This is ultimately for using it with OS X Time Machine, but that should be irrelevant in this question.

I can confirm with FreeNAS…
