Actually yes. I figured it out while reading other archive posts in
zfs-discuss :-)
Thanks Sanjeev :-)

So, from what I understand you have the entire pool built out of disks
from the same S1 box. In that case all you need to do is :
- Export the pool on the old box : zpool export <poolname>
- Connect the S1 to the new machine
- Import the pool : zpool import <poolname>
Hope that helps.
Thanks and regards,
Sanjeev
