How do I create a zfs storage pool with hot spares in solaris?

Designate devices as hot spare when you create the pool:

# zpool create test_pool mirror c2t1d0 c3t1d0 spare c2t2d0 c3t2d0

# zpool status test_pool
pool: test_pool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
test_pool ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror ONLINE 0 0 0
c2t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
spares
c2t2d0 AVAIL
