same thing.. plug it in... run zpool import and get a list of pool...
and import, renaming the pool if necessary...
James
and to be more complete with my answer, might as well create a /test dir
zpool import [-d dir] [-D] [-f] [-o opts] [-R root] pool |
id [newpool]
Imports a specific pool. A pool can be identified by its
name or the numeric identifier. If newpool is specified,
the pool is imported using the name newpool. Otherwise,
it is imported with the same name as its exported name.
If a device is removed from a system without running
"zpool export" first, the device appears as potentially
active. It cannot be determined if this was a failed
export, or whether the device is really in use from
another host. To import a pool in this state, the -f
option is required.
-d dir Searches for devices or files in dir. The -d
the pool is imported using the name newpool. Otherwise,
it is imported with the same name as its exported name.

-d dir Searches for devices or files in dir. The -d
option can be specified multiple times.
-D Imports destroyed pool. The -f option is also
required.
-f Forces import, even if the pool appears to be
potentially active.
-o opts Comma-separated list of mount options to use
when mounting datasets within the pool. See
zfs(1M) for a description of dataset properties
and mount options.
-R root Imports pool(s) with an alternate root. See the
"Alternate Root Pools" section.
and do zpool import -R /test foreignarray ; zpool status
foreignarray; zfs list foreignarray
