The disk replace command will do what you
need:
filer> disk replace start <disk to
be replaced name> <spare disk name>
this will copy the contents of the disk
(no rebuild involved) and put the original disk in the spare pool. If a rebuild
is currently in progress wait for it to finish before doing the disk replace

Subject: moving data off of a spare
disk.
I
have a situation where a disk failed and the rebuild started on the spare from
another shelf of disks. The spare was larger than the original failed
disk and I need that spare to be available for the aggregate using the larger
disks.
How
do I force the data off that disk and onto one of the other spare disks?
Do I just wait for the rebuild to finish and then fail it?
