trying to replace a disk, that's all...

Actually have a few different issues, wondering if I could get input on (tried reading/searching for an answer, with no luck)

1. Have a v240 running sol9 that needs a bad disk replaced. So, here are the steps I took:
a. detached from mirroring
b. cleared mirroring (metaclear)
c. removed from db (metadb -d)
d. viewed disk in cfgadm -al
e. unconfig'd (cfgadm -c unconfigure <disk>)
f. verified disk no longer in cfgadm -al
g. blue light came on, disk replaced.
h. tried to reconfigure (cfgadm -c configure <disk>)
this is where it's broke (attachment point not found).
i. tried to force (cfgadm -f -c configure <disk>)
worse: failed to configure SCSI device: I/O error

Here's the second issue, same device:

2. Want to rename disk from c0::sd2 to c0::dsk/c0t2d0
a. unconfigured the disk (spare disk)
cfgadm -c unconfigure c0::sd2
b. disk shows unconfigured (no blue light), but not removed
still shows up under cfgadm -al
c. tried reseating the disk, but no change.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
