The M1015 was crossflashed using the 9211-IT firmware as described on
hardforum. I should note that I had used OI in a vsphere/passthrough
config sometime ago and it worked fine, but at at that point, my pool was
2x2 raid10, not 3x2 raid10. It *seems* it didn't like having more than 4
drives? Oddly, there are also 2 SSDs for L2arc on the same HBA, but those
are not on the jbod expander. I am wondering if it's related to the
drives being off and expander. So to recap: I had 2x2 drives on OI and it
worked fine. I then switched to ZoL and it was still fine. I added two
more drives for 3x2 and still fine. I then tried switching back to an
illumos kernel and no pool. I didn't try OI.
