ZPOOL Reconfig Recommendations(?)

Current Setup:

OS: Solaris 10 (5.10) x64
Motherboard: SUPERMICRO MBD-PDSME+-O LGA 775 Intel 3010
SATA Controller: SUPERMICRO AOC-SAT2-MV8 - SATA Controller (x2)
Link Aggregated @ 2Gb: 110MB sustained throughput

Code:

  NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
       storagepool  ONLINE       0     0     0
         raidz1    ONLINE       0     0     0 
           c0t4d0  ONLINE       0     0     0        
           c0t5d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t6d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c0t7d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
         raidz1    ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t0d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t1d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t2d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
           c1t3d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
       spares
         c1t5d0    AVAIL

Question:

I've had this setup for about a year now and want to restructure my zpool to optimize throughput.

On my current setup each raidz in located on a different controller and each controller is plugged into a PCI-X slot on the MB. This, I thought, was the best way to load-balance throughput. However I've done more reading and now my thoughts are to combine all HD's on one controller and create one zpool.

Is their merit to having all HD's on one controller or is it better to spit up the zpool over 2 controllers?

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks in advance Smilie

NAME

       systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, systemd-networkd-wait-online - Wait for network to come online

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-networkd-wait-online is a one-shot system service that waits for the network to be configured. By default, it will wait for all
       links it is aware of and which are managed by systemd-networkd.service(8) to be fully configured or failed, and for at least one link to
       gain a carrier.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -i, --interface=
           Network interface to wait for before deciding if the system is online. This is useful when a system has several interfaces which will
           be configured, but a particular one is necessary to access some network resources. This option may be used more than once to wait for
           multiple network interfaces. When used, all other interfaces are ignored.

       --ignore=
           Network interfaces to be ignored when deciding if the system is online. By default, only the loopback interface is ignored. This option
           may be used more than once to ignore multiple network interfaces.

       --timeout=
           Fail the service if the network is not online by the time the timeout elapses. A timeout of 0 disables the timeout. Defaults to 120
           seconds.
