First check for the failed disk in iostat -En and vxdisk
list
Check if the failed disk is configured as dump device using
dumpadm command.If so change the dump device with dumpadm -v
Then the disk should be shoing as failed was or removed in
vxdisk list if not run vxdiskadm and select option remove
disk for replacement
Then take prtvtoc of the disk
remove the disk under vxvm ---vxdisk rm <diskname>
Physically replace the disk
Run devfsadm to get visibility of disk under OS
Partition the disk with fmthard
To get disk visibility under vxvm run vxdctl enable
Intialize the disk under vxvm with vxdisksetup -i <disk>
Then run vxdiskadm and select option 5 - 'Reattach a failed
or removed disk'
There it will ask for disk to be replaced
