At least on S11 (but I guess on Illuos it is the same) LSI HBAs are enumerated based on the PCI address aka Seg:Bus:Dev:Fn (e.g. mpt_sas0 .. 00:02:00:00, mpt_sas1 .. 00:04:00:00, mpt_sas2 .. 00:81:00:00, ...) and thus are obviously related to the PCI slot they are attached to. On the HBA phy 0..3 correspond to wide port 0, phy 4..7 to wide port 1, and so on (IIRC, LSI SAS-HBA wide ports get enumerated clockwise, starting @rear:bottom). At least on SuperMicro BPN-SAS-213A Backplane, wide port 0 corresponds to HDD0..3 starting at the left (front view), wide port 1 to HDD4..7, and so on.
