If drives had beed set as JBOD (on disk format not related to disk controller) then drives themselves should work on any machine and controller and OS using OpenZFS.

Of course, it is best not to have SAS/SATA expanders and to use SAS controller for SAS and SATA for SATA.

I would Leave all disks in and try to import with some another install of both Openindiana, other illumos distro or even FreBSD and Linux with ZFSOnLinux.

You can install OI Hipster in VirtualBox and then do zfs send/receive system and user datasets to the main system disk/rpool to newly made and empied BE. That way you can also boot OI Hipster and see if importing behaves differently with newest illumos. I bet it's some hardware failure to aether controller, expanders and/or disk(s).

Ok, I identified the possibly faulty drives, and took them out. (Doing
a full test on them in another box)

Trying to import the backups zpool without the 2 drives (raidz2 so
should be ok):

zpool import -f backups

Hangs the server after about 10 mins. (I had top running, and it's
stopped updating)

Any ideas?

Removed the backups zpool (zfs export), shutdown and re-installed
the controller.

Booted up fine.

zfs import -f backups

^^Hangs at this point.

A while ago, i had a script running in cron to report on zpool
status, etc.

I must admit, my checking of the reports was a bit lax of late, and
I found the last few had this in the status:

c3t50014EE659993822d0  ONLINE       0     0     0

So, looks like I might have at least 1 failed disk... will need to
try to identify the failed one(s), and pull it / them out.

Thanks so far, I'll update when I've had a chance to pull the
faulty disk(s).
