Working on my ZFS Build, using a SuperMicro 846E1 chassis and an LSI 1068e SAS 
controller, I'm wondering how well FM works in OpenSolaris 2009.06.

I'm hoping that if ZFS detects an error with a drive, that it'll light up the 
fault light on the corresponding hot-swap drive in my enclosure and any 
attached JBOD enclosures.

How would I go about testing this?  All drives in my array are fine, but I'd 
like to "force" one into a degraded state to test the drive fault lights.  
Remembering that c8t8d0 is the 2nd from the bottom in the 3rd row of drives 
isn't exactly what I want to be telling someone in a DC that's replacing a 
drive.  Having the fault indicator light up would be much better.

Is this something that will work out of the box, or am I going to have to dig 
deep to get this working?

Also, on the subject - auto email notification if a drive goes bad would be 
great.  That way I get paged to let me know a drive is bad, and I can either 
head to the DC and replace it, or have someone on-site do it for me quickly.

Any chances this is easy to set up?  I didn't see any mention of it in the ZFS 
Administration guide.
