Hi All
BAsed on the below I would like to verifu two things
(1) The udnerlying mirroris for '/mnt' na dit onlcy contaisne 1 sub-mirror, with one sliceon is one disk and hence, data loss on the mount point (the mount point, '/mnt' is backed up)
(2) the Procedure for renewal
1) Obtain a copy of the vtoc of the disk either from the prtvtoc command or from an old explorer report
2) Take a copy of the SVM configuration " metastat -p"
3)
# metadetach -f d6 d26
# metaclear -f d6
**Power Down to Single Suer Mode
4) Un-mount the file system being used on the disk
umount /dev/rdsk/c1t8d0s0
*** if it is '/tmp' will it handg ??? ***
6) Replace the disk using cfgadm -c disconnect / cfgadm -c connect or luxadm replace - depending on the disk type
7) Put a new vtoc on the replacement disk
fdisk
8) Metainint the SVM SVM volume needed - See the metastat -p output
9) Newfs and mount the filesystem -
10) Add back any removed metadb's ... metadb -a -c X /dev/rdsk/..... X=number of copies needed
11) Boot the system to multi user if the system was shut down to single user

Do not forget to firstumount -f /mnt!
And check if it holds a metadb copy:
and eventually delete an affected one with metadb -d ...
Normally it should not be necessary to shutdown. But there might be bugs in Solaris LVM that make it advisable.(?)
What is special about /mnt that this operation cannot be done online ?
Are other slices of that same failed/falling disk being used for other purposes ?
You should post complete output of meta* commands, with mount output to see the entire disk layout.
That way help could be much more precise, and perhaps might not involve rebooting at all.

c1t0d0 and c1t2d0 are mirrors.
c1t1d0 and c1t3d0 are mirrors.
Metadb to be deleted is in c1t2d0s7
