yeah, but the problem is, OpenSolaris is death and we don't get any
(security?) updates more.

hmm, no release date ..

HAST is only for create a mirror, what we don't need, 'cause the nodes
have access to all disks at the same time, through the SAS HBA.

Also the ZFS Version is bit old (14). It's all bad :-/

But, we need only a few components of a cluster, like carp (in BSD
words) for a global IP and detecting if the master node isn't there
anymore and take over the IP + importing the pool. Maybe there is a
chance under OI.
