The zpool man page should be helpful to you, in particular the `zpool
replace' command, if the failed disk is still installed.  Otherwise,
you may have to use a different command or a combination of commands.

The disk may not need to be initialized with fdisk or format or some
other command if you are using the whole disk.  You can tell that from
`zpool status'.  If you are using slices, you will need to use format
to make it the same as the other disk.
