I know one of you ZFS pros can help me with a problem I've created...

I have a 6 disk raidz2 that I created with 5 disks, and a virtual disk. After creation, I replaced the virtual disk with a larger virtual disk, cancelled the resilvering, and then had a larger pool with the status as below. Now I want to replace the disk c1t1d0/c1t3d0 with a real disk c2t5d0, but the zpool replace command is giving me a "missing device" error. Is there any hope, or must I backup, recreate the pool, and then restore?

I appreciate any help provided. Also, I look forward to sharing my 10 TB ZFS build with the forum when it is all up and working properly.

Code: 
NAME             STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
	storage          DEGRADED     0     0     0
	  raidz2-0       DEGRADED     0     0     0
	    replacing-0  UNAVAIL      0     0     0  insufficient replicas
	      c1t1d0     UNAVAIL      0     0     0  cannot open
	      c1t3d0     UNAVAIL      0     0     0  cannot open
	    c2t1d0       ONLINE       0     0     0
	    c2t2d0       ONLINE       0     0     0
	    c2t6d0       ONLINE       0     0     0
	    c2t4d0       ONLINE       0     0     0
	    c2t5d0       ONLINE       0     0     0
 
Thanks Gea. I'm using NexentaCore 3.0.1 with your napp-it web interface (and zfs version 26). That workaround worked great, and my pool is resilvering at this moment.
