Hi John, Follow the steps in this section: solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Troubleshooting_Guide Replacing/Relabeling the Root Pool Disk If the disk is correctly labeled with an SMI label, then you can skip down to steps 5-8 of this procedure.

I do apologies but I am completely lost here.... Maybe I am just not understanding. Are you saying that a slice has to be created on the seond drive before it can bee added to the pool?

The whole disk layout should be copied from disk 1 to 2, then the slice on disk 2 that corresponds to the slice on disk 1 should be attached to the rpool which forms an rpool mirror (attached not added). Then you need to add the grub bootloader to disk 2. When it finishes resilvering then you have an rpool mirror. -Ross On Jul 12, 2010, at 6:30 PM, "Beau J.
