Have a failed drive on a ZFS pool (three RAIDZ2 vdevs, one hot spare). The hot spare kicked in and all is well.
Is it possible to just make that hot spare disk -- already silvered into the pool -- as a permanent part of the pool? We could then throw in a new disk and mark it as a spare and avoid what would seem to be an unnecessary resilver (twice, once when the spare is brought in and again when we replace the failed disk). This document[1] seems to make it sound like it can be done, but I'm not really seeing how... Can I "add" the spare disk to the pool when it's already in use? Probably not... Note this is on Solaris 10 U9.
