Hi Kava, Your questions are hard for me to answer without seeing your syntax.
Also, you don't need to futz with slices if you are using whole disks. I added some add'l information to the zpool replace section on page 74, here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/zfsadmin.pdf Note that an existing bug prevents the expanded disk space from a zpool replace operation to be seen without doing an zpool export and zpool import of the pool.
