SSA RAID-5 replace disk

Think back to the days of SSA haha...

I have a SSA RAID-5 array with no hot spare. pdisk0 died. I set it to servicemode, then physically replaced it before doing an rmdev. Now I can't get the new disk defined. It shows up as defined, but when i try to mkdev i get the below error. Perhaps remnants of the old disk hanging out somewhere? The diag link verification show a break in the loop where pdisk0 is. The array is still up, just degraded. Any advice on how to prceed is appreciated.

# lsdev -Cl pdisk*
pdisk0 Defined 40-60-P SSA Physical Disk Drive
pdisk1 Available 40-60-19D1-16-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive
pdisk2 Available 20-58-19D1-12-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive
pdisk3 Available 20-58-19D1-05-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive

pdisk5 Available 20-58-19D1-09-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive
pdisk6 Available 20-58-19D1-08-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive
pdisk7 Available 40-60-19D1-04-P SSA160 Physical Disk Drive
# mkdev -l pdisk0
