This is what I was waiting for years to come - simple HA service, which would handle my ZFS pools. Sun Cluster is too heavy, too complex. Usability could be improved over time I guess, but I pretty much happy with it, and it creates great addition to auto-cdp (block-level replication) service.

I'm running it in my datacenter - works great. It is pretty reliable service and its integration with ESX is outstanding. I can manage my VMs, create new datastores, snapshot and clone them - everything from the GUI. It manages NFS and iSCSI data stores...

I should mention that OpenSolaris driver (mpt) is super reliable in latest buids, and this chipset is actually used in latest SUN X4540 boxes. I definitely recommending this card for ZFS usage.
