I avoided USB with Solaris for a long time due to performance and reliability problems. Modern USB sticks are fast and reliable especially when combined to a ZFS mirror
Now I am more and more convinced, that booting a ZFS SAN is best done via mirrorred USB sticks. No other method is as flexible and serious boot problems can be fixed without delay using a spare stick. Even updates are painles. Use a spare stick, configure on a spare machine and updates are only a reboot with another stick. With modern sticks, I do not see the need of a redirect of folders with some write activity to RAM like SmartOS or EON are doing. Keep it simple, keep it default.
