[OpenIndiana-discuss] HELP!!! Re: My 151-a7 on a SuperMicro X7Bsi needs both rpool disks replaced. Please advise on how!

[Hans J. Albertsson]

zpool remove-ing, physically replacing, booting, formatting and zpool 
replace-ing the broken disk fails!

I did

# zpool remove rpool c1t1d0s0 ( This was the broken disk )

halted the system,.

Physically replaced the VERY old seagate barracuda 500GB with a Seagate 
ST2000... 2TB disk

booted up, the disk configured and was visible, ran format, put in a 
partition 0 to cover the whole disk, and then did

# zpool replace -f rpool c1t1d0s0
cannot replace c1t1d0s0 with c1t1d0s0: devices have different sector 
alignment

Is ths 512b sectors vs 4kb sectors??? Or what happened??
