Hi managers,

Sorry for the late summary. I've got only one reply, thanks! The
process was actually very straight,I did:

1) vxdiskadm, option 4 "remove disk"
2) replace the disk
3) devfsadm -C
4) vxdiskadm, option 5 "replace disk"
5) same steps for another disk, after vxtask cleared.

Thanks!

Meg
