Reverting storage snapshot on live filesystem is not possible.
Or any snapshot as far as that goes.
You will need to export the zpool and then restore storage snapshot and import the zpool.
No reboot should be required, unless it is a root zpool, then you will have to power off the ldom, revert, power on.
Is there a reason you are not using builtin zfs snapshoting ? It is much more flexible and a lot of things can be done on live systems (no need to export the zpool), but you will still need to stop the services which are using those filesystems.
Hope that helps

For example in Veritas Volume manager, I can run a "vxdisk list" and disks that are marked as "online invalid" are disk that are not used.
