This was not designed to be HA storage. If we wanted to do that I'd have  
figured out how to bring HAST into the mix but HAST+ZFS is very messy.  
However, if a head unit completely died we'd just connect the JBODs to the  
other head unit and import the pool (you can daisy-chain them if you're  
out of ports on the controller). However, we do as a general rule stay  
under 50% storage so if we really needed to we could move all data to the  
other server without customers knowing, perform maintenance, and move data  
back.
