Thanks for the replies.
I guess I misunderstood the manual:
zpool replace [-f] pool old_device [new_device]
Replaces old_device with new_device. This is equivalent to attaching
new_device, waiting for it to resilver, and then detaching old_device.
The size of new_device must be greater
Hi,
can anybody describe the correct procedure to replace a disk (in a working OK
state) with a another disk without degrading my pool?
For a mirror I thought off adding the spare, you'll get a three device mirror.
Let it resilver. Finally remove the disk I want.
But what would be the correct

I'm pretty sure you just need the zpool replace command:
# zpool replace poolname olddisk newdisk
Run that for the disk you want to replace and let it resilver. Once it's done,
you can unconfigure the old disk with cfgadm and remove it.
If you have multiple mirror vdev's, you'll need to run
Gaah, my command got nerfed by the forum, sorry, should have previewed. What
you want is:
# zpool replace poolname olddisk newdisk

How would this work for servers that support only (2) drives, or systems
that are configured to have pools of (2) drives, i.e. mirrors, and
there is no additional space to have a new disk, as shown in the sample
below.
I still support lots of V490's, which hold only (2) drives.
Thanks,

Hello Bob,
Thank you for your reply. Your final sentence is a gem I will keep.
As far as the rest, I have a lot of production server that are (2) drive
systems, and I really hope that there is a mechanism to quickly RR dead
drives, resilvering aside. I guess I need to do some more RTFMing
