Recently i moved from pair of 500GB to pair of 1000GB. This is how i did it.

ZFSpool - name of my old pool
ZFSpool1 - name of ma new pool

Code:
zfs snapshot ZFSpool@now
zpool create ZFSpool1 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
zfs send ZFSpool@now | zfs receive ZFSpool1@now

in proxmox GUI i deleted storage ZFSpool. Imported ZFSpool1 as ZFSpool and at this moment everything worked fine - ive seen data both in CLI and GUI. But i noticed that i forgot to add MIRROR at new pool creation, so i destroyed pool and remade it again. I did the same, but this time, when i imported ZFSpool and added storage in GUI i found that nothing is there (in gui CONTENT list) and my containers which have their volumes on this storage didnt start. But storage in CLI looks fine ...

Code:
root@nas:~# zpool status
  pool: ZFSpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

        NAME                        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        ZFSpool                     ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror-0                  ONLINE       0     0     0
            wwn-0x500003976440494c  ONLINE       0     0     0
            wwn-0x50004cf20e7c6946  ONLINE       0     0     0

I was adding and deleting storage in GUI couple times. But it didnt help.
 
please include your /etc/pve/storage.cfg contents and 'pveversion -v' output.
 
When i return to home i will get these data. But meanwhile, i just deleted my containers and recover them again from backups. And what is weird, their base volumes instead of old subvol-ID-disk-1 names have now subvol-ID-disk-0 (zero instead one at the end). I checked before recovery and im 100% sure that containers in their configs had 1 at the end of volumes, so they should point to /ZFSpool/subvol-ID-disk-1 correctly.

Also, each container had some mountpoints (mp0, mp1) binded to folders in /ZFSpool directory. I was afraid that if proxmox doesnt see /ZFSpool entirely so even though i will recover containers with their volumes from backups, there will be still problem with those binds. But, containers DO SEE /ZFSpool directory and after recovery all mountpoints pointing to it, work without a problem.
