Thank you, what I was looking for was:  I want to connect the vmware servers to 
the openindiana server using SAS hardware.  Beat the performance of Ether, and 
not as expensive (or as difficult) as Infiniband.  Let the openindiana server 
present a zvol (or whatever) as a scsi target on the SAS bus, so as far as 
vmware can tell, there's just a hard disk on the other end of this SAS cable.  
Vmware would have no idea it was actualy a ZFS volume or anything.

I think Saso answered it.  "there was a SAS target driver for some LSI 
1068-based chips in the old 2009-era OpenSolaris days, but
ultimately that didn't lead anywhere and it fell by the wayside."  and "nobody 
appears to be working on a SAS target driver ATM, as far as I can tell."
