Hello,

Can someone advise the proper procedure for replacing a mirrored disk in SVM. I have checked the docs and various websites but the procedure seems to vary. This is what I would do...

1. Remove the db replicas from the bad disk.
2. Detach it from the mirror
3. Clear it with metaclear.
4. Replace the Disk
5. Copy the label from the good disk using prtvtoc and ftmhard
6. Create new db replicas
7. Create all the metadevices again then attach them which should start the resync?

Is this all necessary or can I just do a metareplace -e ?

I hope this is roughly right, What im not sure about is the need to use cfgadm to deconfig the failed disk then configure the new on back in, is this dependant on what hardware you are running?

Also, is a reboot required for any of this?

Many Thanks.
