I have multiple servers, all with the same configuration of mirrored zfs root 
pools. I've been asked how to take a potentially "damaged" disk from one 
machine and carry it to another machine, in the event that some hw failure 
prevents fixing a boot problem in place. So we have one half of mirror of rpool 
that we want to take to another system that already has an rpool and we want to 
import the second rpool. The second system has enough disk slots to add the 
third disk.

I believe the answer is to use

zpool import

to get the id number of the non-native rpool

then use 
zpool import -f <id#> -R /mnt newpool

but I don't really have a way to check this...

Thanks

Jay
