After attempting unsuccessfully to replace a failed drive in a 10 drive raidz2 array and reading as many forum entries as I could find I followed a suggestion to export and import the pool.
In another attempt to import the pool I reinstalled the OS, but I have so far been unable to import the pool. Here is the output from format and zpool commands: ke...@opensolaris:~# zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 c8d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors ke...@opensolaris:~# format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c4d0 <ST350083- 9QG0LW8-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@1/i...@0/c...@0,0 1. c4d1 <ST350063- 9QG1E50-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@1/i...@0/c...@1,0 2. c5d0 <ST350063- 9QG3AM7-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@1/i...@1/c...@0,0 3. c5d1 <ST350063- 9QG19MY-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@1/i...@1/c...@1,0 4. c6d0 <ST350063- 9QG19VY-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@2/i...@0/c...@0,0 5. c6d1 <ST350063- 5QG019W-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@2/i...@0/c...@1,0 6. c7d0 <ST350063- 9QG1DKF-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@2/i...@1/c...@0,0 7. c7d1 <ST350063- 5QG0B2Y-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci8086,2...@1e/pci-...@2/i...@1/c...@1,0 8. c8d0 <DEFAULT cyl 9961 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /p...@0,0/pci-...@1f,1/i...@0/c...@0,0 9. c10d0 <ST350083- 9QG0LR5-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci-...@1f,2/i...@0/c...@0,0 10. c11d0 <ST350083- 9QG0LW6-0001-465.76GB> /p...@0,0/pci-...@1f,2/i...@1/c...@0,0 Specify disk (enter its number): ^C ke...@opensolaris:~# zpool import pool: storage id: 18058787158441119951 state: UNAVAIL status: The pool was last accessed by another system. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY config: storage UNAVAIL insufficient replicas raidz2-0 DEGRADED c4d0 ONLINE c4d1 ONLINE c5d0 ONLINE replacing-3 DEGRADED c5d1 ONLINE c5d1 FAULTED corrupted data c6d0 ONLINE c6d1 ONLINE c7d0 ONLINE c7d1 ONLINE c10d0 ONLINE c11d0 ONLINE ke...@opensolaris:~# zpool import -f pool: storage id: 18058787158441119951 state: UNAVAIL status: The pool was last accessed by another system. action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY config: storage UNAVAIL insufficient replicas raidz2-0 DEGRADED c4d0 ONLINE c4d1 ONLINE c5d0 ONLINE replacing-3 DEGRADED c5d1 ONLINE c5d1 FAULTED corrupted data c6d0 ONLINE c6d1 ONLINE c7d0 ONLINE c7d1 ONLINE c10d0 ONLINE c11d0 ONLINE ke...@opensolaris:~# zpool import -f storage cannot import 'storage': one or more devices is currently unavailable Destroy and re-create the pool from a backup source. Prior to exporting the pool I was able to offline the failed drive. Finally about a month ago I upgraded the zpool version to enable dedupe. The suggestions I have read include "playing with" the metadata and this is something I would need help with as I am just an "informed" user. I am hoping that as only one drive failed and this is a dual parity raid that there is someway to recover the pool.
