Now that you�re sure that the disk has failed, you can skip the metadevice related
operations � metadetach and metaclear � that must be done prior to replacing a
failing disk. In fact, SVM will not allow you to do metadetach and metaclear on a
failed disk.

# metadetach d0 d20
metadetach: solaris_1: d0: attempt an operation on a submirror that has erred
components
#
You will still need to delete the state database replicas. But that�s one command
compared to the dozen or so metadetaches and metaclears that you need to do for a
failing disk.

Replace A Failing SVM Disk.
