Try to fix the Label again...


then try

zpool add -n the Box should give you a response.

also have a look at the man page
man zpool

you could also try to force it with

zpool add -f

But please keep in mind not every device could be forced. ;)

please have also a look at blogs.sun.com  its a very useful ressource.
Also the Solarisinternals Wiki.


Cheers
