recreating LSM rootvol mirror

        Managers, we had a machine operating with a 2-disk LSM mirror
set for the boot volume. One of the disks failed (on boot), and LSM
broke the mirror set and booted the system using the second drive. The
faulty disk has subsequently been replaced, and we are attempting to
rebuild the mirroring.

        We have labelled the new disk identically to the current boot
disk (except for setting the fstype to unused for each partition), and
then executed:

# volrootmir -a dsk11

        Only to be confronted with:

> Mirroring system disk dsk2 to disk dsk11.
>
> Mirroring rootvol to dsk11a.
> lsm:volassist: ERROR: Error in subdisk root01-01p
> lsm:volassist: ERROR: Could not attach new mirror(s) to volume rootvol

        At this point, we're at a loss where to go next. Was there
some cleanup that we missed from the failure? Did we skip a step? Any
guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks!
