A few weeks ago, Oracle announced the Oracle database SnapManager software for ZFSSA.
It is a license just like the Clone or the Replication license. It's just a one-time, yes-or-no, on-or-off license per controller. Better yet, you can go ahead and get the software and try it out for free for 30 days. Go check it out with the link below.
The Snap Management Utility combines the underlying snapshot, clone, and rollback capabilities of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance with standard host-side processing so all operations are consistent.
