Thanks for the replies guys...I really appreciate the help. When I first posted, I used the CC: foums and this is also posted in the ZFS foum...here http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=124391&tstart=0
So best to go there for the full story. The solution was to "upgrade" to the latest build which allows you to zpool with disks that have a "slightly" differing sizes. I have done this and now have a mirrored rpool. Thanks again for the help and I hope this helps someone else who encounters this situation. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
