While the drive is physically hot-pluggable, the software stack doesn't support what you did. I *think* the correct sequence of events would probably be: 1. Detach the mirrored drive (c3d0) from the ZFS pool. 2. Use 'cfgadm' to 'unplug' the drive 3. Remove it However, it sounds like your drive is SATA running in legacy ATA mode with the ata driver, and I do not off-hand know if the driver and/or cfgadm support 'unplugging' it.
