Solaris 8 disk/mirroring issue

Hello!

I recently inherited system administration duties for a SUN v880 box. The system has 6 physical hard disks.. In doing some basic maintenance, I found they're configured for mirroring. I ran the metastat and metadb commands, and many of the mirrors are showing they are in need of maintenance -> See the attachments.

Question is -- How do get all the mirrors back online and functional? I was considering running the metareplace utility to enable the metabases, but it seems as if one of the hard disks is no longer being recongized by the system. (c1t3d0 -> see disks.txt) I've checked the /var/adm/message files but I don't see anything that would indicate the disk has failed, and the front status panel of the server itself (Including the error condition lights for each drive) is showing no problems... I was thinking of running touch /reconfigure, seeing the disk is redetected, if it is, then replacing the failed metabases using the metareplace and rebooting. Do you guys feel this will fix the problem?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

NAME

       fribidi_set_mirroring - set mirroring on or off

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fribidi.h>

       fribidi_boolean fribidi_set_mirroring(fribidi_boolean state);

PARAMETERS

       fribidi_boolean state
	      New state to set.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function  is used to turn character mirroring on or off.  Character mirroring is the act of replacing a mirrorable glyph (character),
       eg. Left paranthesis, with the matching glyph, eg. Right paranthesis, in a right-to-left resolved context.  If your rendering  engine  does
       mirroring itself, you may want to turn it off here.

       This flag is on by default.  This function is deprecated and only used with other deprecated functions.

RETURNS

       The new mirroring status.
