"Unformatted" ZFS-managed disks

975135Nov 20 2012 — edited Nov 30 2012
I had three zpools in an Oracle/Sun 5220. Some hardware problems, unrelated to the HDDs, prompted me to abandon the server. I moved the eight drives to an identical server, but now the second and third drives for each original zpool appears to be unformatted. The rpool was a two-disk mirror, so it is degraded but still available. The other two zpools were raidz with three disks each. Since only one drive from each zpool is recognized, neither of the zpools is accessible.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to get Solaris to recognize these disks without reformatting and losing the data?
