SDS question.

Hi Sunmanagers,
         We experienced power fluctuations which caused a drive to
momentarily spin
down. The drive has 5 slices 4 of which are submirrors of 4 different SDS
mirrors.
The 5th slice contains metadb replicas.
I am fairly confident that there is nothing wrong with the disk.
Two of these submirrors are shown as needing maintenance and the other 2
are OK.
Also one of the metadb replicas on this device are showing up as having
device write
errors.

      a p luo 1050 1034 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
      a p luo 2084 1034 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7

      a p luo 1050 1034 /dev/dsk/c7t0d0s7
      a p luo 2084 1034 /dev/dsk/c7t0d0s7

Question.
         Should I use metareplace with the -e option to transition the
submirrors needing
attention to the available state. The man page seems to be saying that you
would use this option when
you have had a power disturbance. Has anyone had a similar experience and
used this option?
  I guess the alternative would be to do
metadetach->metaclear->metattach

Also what steps should I take to fix the metadb replica?
metadb -d /dev/dsk/c7t0d0s7
followed by
metadb -a -c 3 /dev/dsk/c7t0d0s7 ?

Thanks
