Transform simple pool to a mirror:
zpool create [pool_name] [device]
zpool attach [pool_name] [existing_device] [new_device]
zpool create datapool c5t433127A900011C370000C00003210000d0

Expand simple pool:
zpool create [pool_name] [device]
zpool add [pool_name] [new_device]
zpool create datapool c5t433127A900011C370000C00003210000d0
zpool add datapool c5t433127B4001031250000900000540000d0
Expand mirrored pool by attaching additional mirror:
zpool add [pool_name] mirror [new_device] [new_device]
zpool add datapool mirror c5t433127A900011C370000C00003460000d0 c5t433127B400011C370000C00003410000d0
Replace device in a pool:
zpool replace [pool_name] [old_device] [new_device]
zpool replace datapool c5t433127A900011C370000C00003410000d0 c5t433127B4001031250000900000540000d0
Destroy pool:
zpool destroy [pool_name]
zpool destroy datapool
Set pool mountpoint:
zfs set mountpoint=/path [pool_name]
zfs set mountpoint=/export/zfs datapool
Display configured pools:
zpool list
zpool list
Display pool status info:
