Step by step to replace Failed disk

Hi all.
This may be a stupid question but here goes:

I lost a disk on my Sun-Fire 480-r and want to replace it. I don't care about the data, I just need to get a new disk in.

Can anyone supply me with step by step procedure please. I am not an expert by any means and it is a dev box so I figured I would try before calling in SUN.

system info:

Code:
# uname -a
SunOS rcworarpt 5.9 Generic_112233-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R

We are using mirroring.
metastat output is as follows:


Code:
