Thanks to all who responded to my question, which was on replacing a
failed mirror disk under vxvm control.

It seems that order is important and you must first remove the disk via
vxvm, then physically remove the disk. If you go in reverse, vxvm gets
all confused. Anyway, the steps are:

1) vxdiskadm (option 4) to remove the disk
2) physically remove the disk
3) devfsadm -C
4) label disk
5) vxdctl enable
6) if you do a vxdisk print, you should see
    that the new disk has a STATUS of "online invalid"
7) vxdiskadm (option 5) to recover.
