Hmm. All your disks attached to the same controller and showing
entries in the Illegal Request field ..... what's the common component
between them - the cable?

I guess the common component between them is the power supply. Each drive has its own SATA cable connected directly to the controller.

Could you look through your msgbuf and/or /var/adm/messages and
find the full text of when these Illegal Request errors were logged. That
will give an idea of where to look next.

That is the part I can't figure out. Nowhere does it say "Illegal Request" except when I run iostat -nE.

I found out that the "Illegal Request" count can be incremented on the ZFS drives by starting a scrub.

For example:
# iostat -nE
...

Happens every time.
