I will use the sas2flash utility on OmniOS, but it has also the 
capabilities to reset the HBA after upgrade.

Great , that's even more simple than I thought it to be, but of course a 
small resilver will not take long, since that action will be performed 
on the weekend, when the traffic is low and probaly not many txgs will 
happen between the reset of the HBA and the re-appearance of the drives.

Yeah - absolutely. I am sure, that I designed both zpools to be equally 
spread over the two HBAs, but I will make sure of it, nevertheless.
