Cluster with ZFS pool, Failed ZFS Storage device on one node, Zpool missing.

Hi, I have a 5 node cluster setup with PVE 8.2.7, the nodes are using a pair of direct attached disks as an OS mirror and a ZFS pool on a 12 disk HPE D3600 Disk Enclosure using direct SAS connections to each node

One of the nodes has lost connection to the ZFS pool. I am about to flatten the node and recreate it if needs as the other nodes are coping well and failover has done its job, but I would like to avoid this if possible as the PVE is still live and can see the ZFS disks in the GUI.

I have tried:

zpool list / no datasets available
zpool status / no pools available
zpool import / no pools available to import

zpool import /dev/device

zpool import VMs
cannot import 'VMs': no such pool available

wiping a disk from the GUI fails and says its busy.
 
I've resolved this, by deleting the node from the datacenter storage and recreating the storage on the node its self then re-adding the ZFS storage to the datacentre storage.
