# zpool offline data2 <BAD WWN>
2. Remove the failed disk, then insert the replacement. Wait at least 20 seconds for the drive to initialize.
3. Run as root:
# devfsadm -Cv

# sas2ircu 0 DISPLAY | sed -e '/Enclosure #.*2/,/Drive Type/!d' | awk '/Slot.*9/ {for(i=1; i<=7; i++) {getline; print}}' | grep "Serial No"
5. Then, with the serial, run this command to get the WWN: (replace <SERIAL> with drive serial)
# iostat -En | awk '/<SERIAL>/ {print line} {line = $0}' | awk '/c.*/ {print $1}'
6. Replace the failed disk with the new one:
# zpool replace <BAD WWN> <NEW WWN>
