I have both in my system. The LSI is driving the 8-drive pool.
Only rpool and log device, all SSD, are on onboard SATA ports.

I'm not using the onboard Realtek, only the Intel NIC is used.

Is information in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/819-0139/ch_4_config_multi_SW.html
/kernel/drv/fp.conf 
mpxio-disable="yes";
applicable for OmniOS? Do I need to touch /reconfigure to
make it stick?
