Yes, that would be the case. I'm looking at EMC iSCSI storage unit. So
it's pretty much the same case that I have with our current OI system
using Raid controller to present one single volume to create a ZFS file
system on correct? There is the potential of loosing the entire ZFS file
system if anything got corrupted during data transfers.

Understanding correctly:
You are trying to buy a iSCSI array ex like a Dell 3200,
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/powervault-iscsi-arrays or similar
with a hardware raid + oldstyle unsecure filesystem on it and share this volume
via iSCSI as a single disk vdev to OI and format with ZFS??
This is a absolute nogo !
While this will work it is slower than using OI only for all SAN or NAS tasks.
Main problem is that you have checksum validation
but without any error repair options. For these a ZFS software raid with
redundancy is needed.
Better look at a SuperMicro Jbod case with a SuperMicro X9..-F mainboard,
enough LSI 9207 HBA for all disks and you can do all what you want.
If you need iSCSI on it, read about Comstar, the iSCSI target solution on
Solarish systems

interested in successes or issues that I should look out for.
Thanks....
