Solaris Volume Manager metareplace -e Command Fails to Enable Soft Partitions When Disks Are Removed and Then Replaced (4645781)

If you physically remove a soft partitioned disk from a system and then replace it with a new disk, the metareplace -e command fails to enable the soft partitions. This failure might occur whether or not you used the metarecover command prior to issuing the metareplace -e command to enable the soft partitions.

Workaround: Re-create the soft partitions on the new disk.

If the soft partitions are a part of a mirror or RAID 5, use the metareplace command without the -e option to replace the old soft partition with the new soft partition.
