Yes, I have looked at the first one.  and the fdisk -G shows me:

root@bujbod1:~/blocksize# fdisk -G /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0
* Physical geometry for device /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0
* PCYL     NCYL     ACYL     BCYL     NHEAD NSECT SECSIZ
  60788    60788    0        0        255   504   512   
root@bujbod1:~/blocksize# fdisk -G /dev/rdsk/c5t1d0
* Physical geometry for device /dev/rdsk/c5t1d0
* PCYL     NCYL     ACYL     BCYL     NHEAD NSECT SECSIZ
  60788    60788    0        0        255   504   512   

And it is the c5t0d0 that it can't replace.

What I have discovered since my first email is I have all these messages in 
/var/adm/messages for all the disks in this zpool:

Nov 19 14:24:33 bujbod1 zfs: [ID 447730 kern.warning] WARNING: Disk, 
'/dev/dsk/c5t10d0s0', has a block alignment that is larger than the pool's 
alignment

I'm guessing that the firmware upgrade I applied to this system a month ago 
changed something critical to ZFS on the IBM M5120 (rebranded LSI) raid 
controller.
