Am at the limit of my knowlage now.

google  man zpool

UNAVAIL is coming up because the zpool was imported with the drive missing.
Try exporting the pool, rebooting then importing it with the drive connected.

UNAVAIL
The device could not be opened. If a pool is imported when a device was
unavailable, then the device will be identified by a unique identifier instead
of its path since the path was never correct in the first place.

zpool attach [-f] pool device new_device     have a read of zpool attach, it
might work.

You could also try adding the drive as a hot spare.

Thats all the help i can give, sorry, i dont know how to change/edit parts of
ZFS.
