metadevice errors after hardware replacement

I have a Solaris 8 server on an Ultra 2 Enterprise box. It has a
SPARCstorage Array attached with about 30 small disks inside. The GBIC on
the SSA was defective and needed to be replaced the other day. Now, all
of the metadevices say that they need maintenace. I have a bunch of
these:

d51: Mirror
    Submirror 0: d47
      State: Needs maintenance
    Submirror 1: d48
      State: Needs maintenance
    Pass: 1
    Read option: roundrobin (default)
    Write option: parallel (default)
    Size: 16504884 blocks (7.9 GB)

d47: Submirror of d51
    State: Needs maintenance
    Invoke: after replacing "Maintenance" components:
        metareplace d51 c2t0d2s0 <new device>
    Size: 16504884 blocks (7.9 GB)
    Stripe 0:
    Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
    c2t0d2s0 0 No Last Erred No

d48: Submirror of d51
    State: Needs maintenance
    Invoke: after replacing "Maintenance" components:
        metareplace d51 c2t1d0s0 <new device>
    Size: 16504884 blocks (7.9 GB)
    Stripe 0:
    Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
    c2t1d0s0 0 No Last Erred No

bash-2.05# metareplace -e d51 c2t1d0s0
metareplace: tux: d51: c2t1d0s0: component in invalid state to replace -
Replace "Maintenance" components first

Am I going to have to break the mirrors and start restoring off of
backups? Everything is working right now, I just can't get the
metadevices in an OK state.

Thanks,
Chris
