It's been about a year now and I figured I'd send out a little update for
anyone curious.
For density and cost considerations, we ended up going with a custom built
Supermicro double sided storage chassis, which can hold 72 drives in 4U. We
initially deployed 10 raidz2 vdevs for about 40TB

I *could* use an HP-branded LSI controller (SC08Ge [3]), but I prefer
the higher performance of the LSI 9211 and 9205e HBA's.

This has been covered here, but it works. I typically use LSI-9211 and
9205 controller in G6 and G7 ProLiant systems for ZFS use. I usually
bypass the onboard controller. I don't use the HP expander card since the
LSI cards provide enough ports. That expander card is good for ZFS, though.
See:
Good call Saso. Sigh... I guess I wait to hear from HP on supported IT
mode HBAs in their D2000s or other jbods.

Thanks Richard and Edmund for the input.
Looking at the DL380 now...

This depends upon what you want to do. I've used G6 and G7 ProLiants
extensively in ZFS deployments (Nexenta, mostly). I'm assuming you'd be
using an external JBOD enclosure?
All works well. I disable the onboard Smart Array P410 RAID controller and
replace it with an LSI SAS HBA. If using
Yes, planning on attaching multiple DataOn JBODs.
When you say you've been replacing the onboard Smart Array controller (in
external disk setups), do you also mean that your root pool is configured on
the JBOD(s), essentially completely bypassing any of the built-in drive bays?
Thanks,
No, I'll install using the internal drive bays mapped to an LSI
controller. Using the internal disks bays is also handy for ZIL/L2ARC
devices.
