It is clear from the labelling that the units being used probably have
completely different contents and therefore it will not be possible to
combine these two units into a single shadowset without overwriting
the contents of one or the other.    If the contents of both disks are
of importance to you, you could mount them as separate single unit
shadowsets (using their current labels), and then add a second disk to
each set.

If you are only interested in one disk contents, then you could

1.   Mount the important disk as a single-unit shadowset using the
appropriate (i.e. current) label.
2.   add the second disk and let it copy.

If the label is significant, then relabel the volume using "set
volume /label=<ds2>  DSAnn".   Just remember that "set volume/label="
must be executed on every node which has the volume mounted.

And finallym if you are not interested in the disk contents, then go
ahead and re-init both drives.   Then create an new shadowset with
whatever label you want.
