One of the best troubleshooting steps for a pool that won't import is
to look at the labels on the disk.
zdb -l /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
The output should be the nvlist for each of 4 labels on the device.
zpool import looks at those labels to determine if there is a pool available
for import. If the labels cannot be seen, then you need to solve that problem
before you can import the pool.
