You could export each disk as a single disk RAID0, but I've read that if a disk fails, ZFS won't notice, and the hotspare would not kick in. Not having a native raid management tool is a very bad thing, but this is a non-production machine (well, at least not front-end), so if a disk fails the DRAC will notice me, and I can take appropriate step in the BIOS controller manager.
