metaclear/metainit/metaattach or metareplace

user4485593Oct 12 2010 — edited Oct 15 2010
I have a failed disk drive on a v440, the target of a disksuite mirror. All partitions Need maintenance. This is at a remote site so and the drives are hotswapable to I want to use cfgadm to remove and replace the drive. I am confused about a few steps because there are different docs indicating different things.

One document says to:
metadb -d /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s7
metaclear
cfgadm -c unconfigure and configure and format/prtvtoc
metainit
metaattach.

Another document indicates:
metadb -d /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s7
Then they say just remove the drive (I'm assuming this is cfgadm) and format/prtvtoc
meatreplace (There was mention that metareplace is used instead of metaclear, metainit, metattach)

This is just replacing the target of a root mirror. There is no striping, etc.

Any suggestions please.
Thank you
