Summary: Question on Veritas mirror recovery for Sun280R

[Ray Pasetes]

Thanks to all who responded to my question, which was on replacing a 
failed mirror disk under vxvm control.


It seems that order is important and you must first remove the disk via 
vxvm, then physically remove the disk.  If you go in reverse, vxvm gets 
all confused.  Anyway, the steps are:


1) vxdiskadm (option 4) to remove the disk
2) physically remove the disk
3) devfsadm -C
4) label disk
5) vxdctl enable
6) if you do a vxdisk print, you should see
    that the new disk has a STATUS of "online invalid"
7) vxdiskadm (option 5) to recover.
