Is there anyway you can give me a list of steps?
How to disconnect: Storage > Pools > Setting (gear) > Export/Disconnect > which option to select
How to re-Import Storage > Import Disk >....

would this work from the command line?
This would export (disconnect the pool and not delete the data)
zpool export BDD
This would import the pool in the mnt location
zpool import -R /mnt/BDD
If I understand correctly I may have to redo the shares but not 100% sure of that since there is a chance the share could still work.

seems the resilver is done and drive is back online. How do I do the export and reimport.

zpool export BDD for the export.
Then click the blue Add button under Storage->Pools to import.

Looks like I may have to add drives and build a new Pool then copy the data from the root location
for raidz2 the min drive count is 3 can I have not multiple of three drives? Example if I go with 8 TB drives can I put in 5 and have a spare total of 6 drives that gives me the same space I have today.

RAIDZ2 needs 4 drives minimum. With 8 TB drives, assuming you use 5 data drives and 1 spare, your pool will have 24 TB.

Thanks for the help I got everything back running.
I order a few new drives to have a few more spares and will look at re-doing the pool to allow more than one failure.

Here are the steps to disconnect and import I followed and it worked great.
How to export and disconnect a pool using the UI
Storage > Pools > Settings (Gear) > Export/Disconnect > Select Confirm Export/Disconnect > Click Export/Disconnect
How to import disconnected pool using the UI
Storage > Pools > Add > Import and existing pool
There is no need to re-do your existing shares they will remain in-tack
