The LSI megaRAID 9361 is a hardware raid controller - the wrong type for
ZFS.
You want a HBA controller best with a raidless IT firmware with an LSI
2008 or 3008 chipset
like the LSI 9207 or 9003 or Sata in AHCI mode.
Your options:
- replace the 9361 with an HBA
or
- use it as a bootdevice for ESXi and the local datastore
- pass-through Sata in AHCI mode (enable hotplug for Sata)
or
- add an HBA

I’m working on bringing up some new mission critical servers at hosting
provider Softlayer and wondering if anyone out there also hosts at Softlayer
using OmniOS and what they’ve used for disk HBA’s at Softlayer with OmniOS(just
to make it more complicated I use napp-it all in one virtual machine setups).
My understanding is the current Xeon v3 servers Softlayer is using LSI megaRAID
9361 cards in them and I’ve been unable to find much about running ZFS on the
newer megaraid cards and I really don’t want to do some RAID 0 type of setup
that I’ve used in the past. Softlayer is using Supermicro X10DRU-i+ MBs that
have a bunch of SATA ports on them hung off the C612 chipset, I’m temped to
tell them to use those ports, but I’d like to hear someone else’s experience
with these since I now OmniOS doesn’t always play well with more modern kit.
So far I’ve had great success with all in one setups in the past on Softlayers
older generation of servers, but I’ve had to ship to Softlayer and convenience
them to install the standard LSI HBA SAS controllers for me which has the
downside that if a box goes down they can’t just spin me up a newer server in
an hour or so since it requires me to buy and ship them a new disk controller.
