Thanks to David Eisner and Ying Xu for responding.

Both had a couple of suggestions, but did not lead to a solution for me. I
ended up getting some downtime this weekend to reboot (reconfiguration reboot)
the box. Everything can up fine after the reboot and I was able to add the
mirror back.

Suggestions were:
Check LCD on front panel for double arrow indicator.
   It was present and online. Messages in /var/adm/messages logged that it
was online.

Look at "luxadm insert".
   Did not help me. Had forgot about this one, but none of the options would
"see/discover" the repaired array.

David sent a procedure that he had used in the past to recover from problems
with a standalone array. It started with using "ssaadm display". Was unable
to use this because the "/dev and /devices" structure was not built for the
new WWN. Tried to hand create part of the structure, but did not have any
success.

reconnecting the array, I can not get the system to "see" array. The WWN did
change, but I can work around that once the drives are "visible".

box. Is there a way to bring this array back online with out rebooting the
box?
