the disk passes sector by sector write tests both with the vendor diag and
seatools, the cable failed as soon as i tried it in another machine. the disk is
good, the cable was not. it also shows up in format just fine and it has the
same partition layout as all the other disks in the pool. zpool state is the
problem here, like i said it doesnt care if the disk is there or not or even if
c0::dsk/c0t2d0 is unconfigured with cfgadm the pool stays in a faulted state
even after "zpool clear data" and those 2 vdevs under replacing remain
faulted whether the disk is present or not.
