Tim,
When I have to replace an SSA disk I remove the associated pdisk as well as
the hdisk.
e.g.:
>ssaxlate -l hdisk17
pdiskxx
>rmdev -l pdiskxx -d
You may already be aware of this, but after the disk has been replaced you
need to run cfgmgr to re-discover the disk, then you should run diag -a to
process the hardware changes.
