No, if it is a root disk you must do a series of commands as well.

You probably already figured it out, but i will post some instructions. First of all, in many cases the disk, if it is truly dead can be pulled and replaced hot-swappable.

Run diskinfo and pvdisplay on the disk device. Diskinfo should give you an error if the disk is dead. IF however, the disk is partially alive then I would suggest shutdown and come up to single user mode and do the same steps.

Some folks recommend reducing the mirror, but that is overkill imho...if you have an older box, K-class or older, it might be a more cautious approach.

pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c4t6d0 ## may not be needed.
vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c4t6d0
mkboot /dev/rdsk/c4t6d0
mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c4t6d0
lifcp /dev/dsk/c4t6d0:AUTO
mkboot -b updatediaglif -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c4t6d0
mkboot -b /usr/sbin/diag/lif/updatediaglif -p ISL -p AUTO -p HPUX -p LABEL /dev/rdsk/c4t6d0
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00 /dev/rdsk/c4t6d0
vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
vgsync /dev/vg00

vxdestroy_lvmroot

vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)													     vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)

NAME

       vxdestroy_lvmroot - remove LVM root disk and associated LVM volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vxdestroy_lvmroot [-v] [-b] lvm_root_disk

DESCRIPTION

       The  vxdestroy_lvmroot  command	tears  down  and removes the LVM volume group associated with the specified physical disk. This is done by
       removing the volumes in the volume group and then removing the volume group.

OPTIONS

       -b	 Invokes the setboot command to change the primary boot disk to the VxVM root disk from which the system was booted (if  the  pri-
		 mary  boot  disk is not already set to this disk).  The alternate boot device remains unchanged.  If the -v option is also speci-
		 fied, the settings of the primary and alternate boot devices are displayed.

       -v	 Outputs verbose messages including a timestamp that indicates major operations being performed.

ARGUMENTS

       lvm_root_disk
	    Specifies the device name of the LVM root disk that is to be destroyed, along with its entire volume group.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows the vxdestroy_lvmroot command invoked in its simpliest form:

       /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot c5t1d0

       # /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot -v -b c3t0d0
       Are you sure about destroying c3t0d0 (imported on VG /dev/vg02) ? YES
