Not OmniOS -> but I did install NexentaStor on a C6220 back in the old job.  This was for Dell themselves, and they had it configured per Nexenta's specs.

Frédéric asked you which disk controller you were running.  Luckily, you supplied the disk model, and ST1000NM0033-9ZM173 is a SATA disk, so you're LIKELY using the on-motherboard SATA controller (hopefully under AHCI and not SCU -- these are BIOS options, I think).

You should, however, look and see if you're running one of the optional RAID controllers.  Do you get any "LSI MegaRAID" text from the BIOS at boot time?  Also, what other text was shown (i.e. not just the last line) before it froze?
