describe how your system is setup.

in general, if you have a mirrored boot disk, you have to break the mirror first then shut down the system and replace the faulty hdd.

Wrong. If your disks are mirrored, you need not shutdown the system. Be it h/w raid, SVM mirror or VxVM raid. It should be done online to eliminate any unecessary downtime.

suneelieg, is your system mirrored? provide the configs

the system might need to be shutdown if it is an internal disk.

- identify your system
- what setup
- take a screwdriver

what dp you expect? Nobody nows your system. read the manual of your unknown system.

At least post the df -h | head o/p so that people can make out if its using any mirroring or not .
