[osol-discuss] Motherboard/Hardware Failure Question

[Aldo Bacchiocchi]

Hello,
I am new to the ZFS scene and am very close to purchasing hardware to support my home storage needs and will be using opensolars and zfs.  I plan on keeping the Operationg System and Data Storge needs in different pools, and will follow the best practices guide closely.  I've read that I can move my disks using the Zpool export feature.  However, what if the motherboard or controller fails and I need to move my data to another machine.  

How would I import the pool onto another machine if a zpool export could not have been done because of, say, a motherboard failure.  I think I rmember seeing it can be done even without the export?
