not sure what you want to achieve with zpool import
https://illumos.org/man/8/zpool
-a Searches for and imports all pools found.
-c cachefile
Reads configuration from the given cachefile that was
created with the cachefile pool property. This
cachefile
is used instead of searching for devices.
-d dir Searches for devices or files in dir. The -d
option can be
specified multiple times. This option is
incompatible with
the -c option.
the -a option imports all found pools (pool config is on disks)
the -d is mainly when you are using files instead disks. Disks are
detected automatically.
normal operation is simply zpool import (reads all disks and shows
available pools)
and zpool import (-f) poolname. If a disk is missing, the pool is
imported in a degraded state.
You cannot "import" single disks.
What do you expect from a zpool destroy? Such a pool remains importable
despite.
Maybe you want to ignore the cachefile that allows a faster imoport?

Thanks Toomas!
raidz6 can survive 2 lost disk, 5 of 6 is still good assuming there
are no corrupted blocks;)
That's true, but I guess my question is more nuanced.
Let's say that on the second server I do something like this:
boot, with zero 3.5 disks plugged in and then run:
# zpool destroy tank // to remove history of he old "tank"
insert 5 of the disks and then run something like this:
# zpool import -a -d c3t1d0 -d c4t0d0-d c4t1d0-d c5t0d0-d c5t1d0
Would that work, or would it fail due to expecting a missing sixth disk?
Thanks again,
Kent
