Disksuite controller failure

On one of our servers, we have a 3 way mirrored volume, with 3 way mirrored
logs. Unfortunately, when it was installed, all the volumes were on the same
array, and hence the same controller.

And unfortunately, that controller has now failed, putting our disksuite
mirrors all into a 'failed' state. It seems that we're having immense
difficulty in getting the disks to an 'OK' state.

Can anyone point me at a website or tutorial to get disksuite to 'recheck' all
the volumes? I've had a suggestion of metareplacing volumes with themselves,
but that sounds dubiously like they're going to try and resync, fail (because
they can't read) and make a mess).

Or perhaps offer other advice on how to recover from this state? As ever,
murphy's law has kicked in with our backup recovery process.

Cheers,
Ed Rolison.
