Ok, I went with windows and virtualbox solution. I could see all 5 of my raid-z disks in windows. I encapsulated them as entire disks in vmdk files and subsequently offlined them to windows.
I then installed a sol11exp vbox instance, attached the 5 virtualized disks and can see them in my sol11exp (they are disks #1->#5). root@san:~# format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c7t0d0 <ATA -VBOX HARDDISK -1.0 cyl 26105 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> /pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@0,0 1. c7t2d0 <ATA -VBOX HARDDISK -1.0 cyl 60798 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@2,0 2. c7t3d0 <ATA -VBOX HARDDISK -1.0 cyl 60798 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@3,0 3. c7t4d0 <ATA -VBOX HARDDISK -1.0 cyl 60798 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@4,0 4. c7t5d0 <ATA -VBOX HARDDISK -1.0 cyl 60798 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@5,0 5. c7t6d0 <ATA -VBOX HARDDISK -1.0 cyl 60798 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@6,0 Specify disk (enter its number): Great I thought, all i need to do is import my raid-z..... root@san:~# zpool import root@san:~# Damn, that would have been just too easy I guess.
