Chris, If you have created a RAIDZ storage pool then yes, you would use zpool replace to replace the existing disks with the larger disks. See the example below of a RAIDZ replacement example.
A bug currently exists that means you might have to export and import the pool to see the expanded disk space. More device replacement tips are provided here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-2271/gazgd?a=view Cindy # zpool status pool: pool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM pool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t40d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t40d1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t40d2 ONLINE 0 0 0 # zpool replace pool c7t40d0 c3t1d0 # zpool status pool pool: pool state: ONLINE scrub: resilver completed after 0h0m with 0 errors on Wed Nov 12 09:18:02 2008 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM pool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t40d1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c7t40d2 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors zpool replace pool c7t40d1 c3t2d0 (and so on)...
