Deleting Non-Existent RAID Volume

I just added a disk to a V245 running Solaris 10. The new
(actually reused) disk will NOT be part of a RAID. However,
upon rebooting with the new disk, I don't see it in format(1M),
but I do see,

  # raidctl
  RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk
  Volume Type Status Disk Status
  ------------------------------------------------------
  c1t132d0 IM RESYNCING - MISSING
                                  c1t2d0 OK
  c1t0d0 IM OK c1t0d0 OK
                                  c1t1d0 OK

So the disk is there, but the system seems to think it is
in an array. It very may well have been part of one in its
previous life. But when I try to break up that ghost volume,

  # raidctl -d c1t132d0
  Not a volume 'c1t132d0'

Since the controller, an LSI1064 HBA, is in between the OS
and the disk, I can't figure out a way to get in there to
kill any disk labels that are confusing the controller.

How do I break up that phantom volume and get access to that
disk? Thanks.
