Hrmm yeah I think it's no problem with the pool but rather something with the Solaris device management I am not getting.
c14t0d0 is recognized as new disk by format but what is anoying though is this: # zpool add -f tank spare c14t0d0 invalid vdev specification the following errors must be manually repaired: /dev/dsk/c18t0d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool bkpool. Please see zpool(1M). Which makes me think that there is still a label on that disk somewhere. Anybody any ideas?
