First of all make sure that you have backed up the data for the disk you are replacing. Then replace the disk. Partition it. Create the metadb. Mirror it. Resync it. Fill the disk with earlier data. Also make the entries in /etc/vfstab.

Hi,
I was asked to connect a KVM screen to a Sun Fire V440 last night so I connected it up but no joy and nothing on the KVM screen. I was told that a reboot may fix the problem so connected to the ALOM and rebooted. On the plus side, the KVM screen now works but I lost the ALOM connection.

DISKTAB(5) BSD File Formats Manual DISKTAB(5)
NAME
disktab -- disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <disktab.h>
DESCRIPTION
disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on
the disk. The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:' separated fields.
The first entry for each disk gives the names which are known for the disk, separated by `|' characters. The last name given should be a
long name fully identifying the disk.
The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry.
