hi gurus

I have a disk c2t2d0 of submirror d2 inside a mirror d4 that has failed, so it
is in a maintenance state. I need to replace this disk.

these are my steps that I want to follow...

1. prtvtoc
2. metadetach d4 d2
3. metadb -d c2t2d0s7
4. remove faulty disk
5. insert new disk
6. fmthard the new disk with the prtvtoc file
7. metattach d4 d2
8. metadb -a -c 3 c2t2d0s7 ( please explain this line )

I've also read up on metareplace which I understand to work as follows :

1. prtvtoc
2. remove faulty disk
3. insert new disk
4. metareplace d4 c2t2d0s2

what would you guys suggest to be the correct method?

Thank you
