SOLVED How to Import Spares that have been used.

[mro]

Hi all

When I upgraded to new hardware last week. My system managed to lose two disks. I have a set of spares that kicked in and were then used to replace the the drives that were lost.
I have not detached the disks from the GUI that were lost yet. My question is once I have done this will the Spares become past of the VDevs to replace the drives ?

Here is the output of Zpool Status

If I detach the the old drives. The Spares will then become part of the VDevs.

Yes, detaching is the correct route. You can paste the gptid string straight from the zpool status output above (either "gptid/string" or the 19 digit number).

zpool detach {pool} {id_of_bad_drive}

I've found it to be a bit inconsistent whether it works immediately or not; I've had it refuse saying resource busy, and then it works fine later.

There's no WebUI mechanism for doing this, by the way - command line only.
