I was just looking at the release notes for the Solaris 11.3 patches (version 11.3.23.5) from August 18 , and I noticed several references to Solaris 12 ! (see screenshot ) very wierd since Oracle killed Solaris 12 a long time ago and fired all the developers. I guess they just missed to clean...

I purchased 4 of them @ $120 and they all have 0% used endurance so very happy with that , but one odd thing is that "sg_logs -a" show drive type as "HITACHI HRLP0400S5xnNMLC 3P02" not HUSML4040ASS600 .

This worked for me , download from here Support Documents and Downloads just search for 9211-8i firmware. I used the UEFI version of sas2flash . Boot to UEFI shell and then erase the IR firmware with sas2flash.efi -o -e 6 (takes a couple of minutes) and then flash the IT firmware with...

Sorry i misunderstood your earlier post when you said SAS SSD's are to expensive , i thought you meant no SAS SSD's at all , not even for ZIL :)

I belive a ZFS based solution without an SSD logdevice will give you terrible write performance , unless you configure it with sync=disabled . But if you go with sync=disabled the HA will not work because if you have a failover for any reason the cached write data in memory not commited to disk...
