This is slightly different in osol, but I forget exactly what's different.
Here's what I do in sol10:
Use this command to find the device name of your disk:
rmformat -l
Now that you know your device name ... In this example I'm assuming cNt0d0p0
zpool create poolname devicename
If you get "Device Busy" do this:
svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/volfs
(wait a few seconds...)
Try again
To make the disk safe for removal:
zpool export poolname
After you rotate disks offsite, you need to bring the 2nd one online:
zpool import
(Assuming you see the new disk availalbe, and it's the only one
available.)
zpool import -a
If you have a problem, such as the new disk doesn't appear:
devfsadm -Cv
Hope this helps.
