First check for the failed disk in iostat -En and vxdisk
list
Check if the failed disk is configured as dump device using
dumpadm command.If so change the dump device with dumpadm -v
Then the disk should be shoing as failed was or removed in
vxdisk list if not run vxdiskadm and select option remove
disk for replacement
Then take prtvtoc of the disk
remove the disk under vxvm ---vxdisk rm <diskname>
Physically replace the disk
Run devfsadm to get visibility of disk under OS
Partition the disk with fmthard
To get disk visibility under vxvm run vxdctl enable
Intialize the disk under vxvm with vxdisksetup -i <disk>
Then run vxdiskadm and select option 5 - 'Reattach a failed
or removed disk'
There it will ask for disk to be replaced

Hi Rohitrwx,
Q1)find the failed disk:-
Failed disk information automatically update in log file
with physical path
then run below commands
#format :here we can see like "" Drive not available""
#cfgadm -al
#iostat -en
With these commands we can find disks status.
Q-2) Repalce the failed disks.
If you create non-availablity raid on the disk,No need to
disk replacement
if the disk you using in Availability volume like :
-->RAID-1: first we need to remove plex which is on failed
disk. and recreate plex on newdisk.
-->RAID-5 :Spare disk will palce,
Now we need repalce the failed disk
#vxdiskadm
Select-- 4
Select -- 5
the failed disk will replace
--------------
remove failed disk from veritas
#vxdiskunsetup -C diskpath
Thanks
