Replace a failed slice 

If a disk fails, you must replace the slices used in your Solaris Volume Manager configuration. In the case of RAID 0 volume, you have to use a new slice, delete and recreate the volume, then restore data from a backup. Slices in RAID 1 and RAID 5 volumes can be replaced and resynchronized without loss of data.
