Example—Enabling a Slice in a Submirror


# metareplace -e d11 c1t4d0s7
d11: device c1t4d0s7 is enabled

In this example, the mirror d11 has a submirror that contains slice, c1t4d0s7, which had a soft error. The metareplace command with the -e option enables the failed slice.

If a physical disk is defective, you can either replace it with another available disk (and its slices) on the system as documented in How to Replace a Slice in a Submirror. Alternatively, you can repair/replace the disk, format it, and run the metareplace command with the -e option as shown in this example.
