...and, apparently, I can replace two drives at the similar time (in two
commands), and resilvering goes in parallel:
{code}
[r...@t2k1 /]# zpool status pool
pool: pool
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be opened. Sufficient replicas exist for
the pool to continue
And one more note: while I could offline both "fake drives" in OpenSolaris
tests,
the Solaris 10u6 box refused to offline the second drive since it left the pool
without parity.
{code}
[r...@t2k1 /]# zpool status test
pool: test
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:

Thanks to all those who helped, even despite the "non-enterprise approach" of
this question ;)
While experimenting I discovered that Solaris /tmp doesn't seem to support
sparse files: "mkfile -n" still creates full-sized files which can either use
up the
swap space, or not fit there. ZFS and UFS

Thanks Tomas, I haven't checked yet, but your workaround seems feasible.
I've posted an RFE and referenced your approach as a workaround.
That's nearly what zpool should do under the hood, and perhaps can be done
temporarily with a wrapper script to detect min(physical storage sizes) ;)

Is it possible to create a (degraded) zpool with placeholders specified instead
of actual disks (parity or mirrors)? This is possible in linux mdadm ("missing"
keyword), so I kinda hoped this can be done in Solaris, but didn't manage to.
