Do I need a pool before I can mirror my disks?

Hi!

I would also like to know if I need first to create a pool before I can mirror my disks inside that pool.

My first disk is c7t0d0s0 and my second disk is c7t2d0s0 as seen in the figure below.

I would create a pool named rpool1 for this 2 disks.
Code:
# zpool create rpool1 c7t0d0p0 c7t2d0p0

Now, I have 2 pools in my system namely: rpool and rpool1.

If I have a file in rpool, how can I mirror that file in rpool1?

Thanks!

NAME
zdb - ZFS debugger SYNOPSIS
zdb pool DESCRIPTION
The zdb command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer. If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on the pool and associated datasets, and report any problems detected. Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 The pool is consistent. 1 An error was detected. 2 Invalid command line options were specified. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWzfsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Unstable | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
