Hat to go with h700. Works flawlessly. Had to make single drive raid 0 then
create pool. I tried lsi and dell IT firmware to no avail so I assume it's the
drives also since hooking any sata drive up did indeed work, just something
about the sas drives (not really sas but they are called that).
How did you make out with this? i just recieved the same configuration, except
it is using 2tb western digital drives. I have the same exact errors though.
Did the h710 resolve your issues?

I'm guessing it has to be the drives, because
A) I don't think the SAS expander portions of the SAS protocol are optional
B) I have tried some extremely convoluted SAS expander configurations
with OI and had them run "fine"*.
I'd finger LSI as making any SAS things for Dell by default, as I know
Backplane drivers should be irrelevant. The expander should speak a common
language. Not sure how to tap into things to confirm. I have tried lsi latest
IR and IT firmwares with same results under OI and sol11.

I've found the ZFS discuss list a good source for people with a wide
