SUMMARY: Deleting Non-Existent RAID Volume

Thanks to Jeremy Gillow for the following solution. It worked
for me. My original question follows the solution.

Crist,

This has worked for me before on the V245:

You may want to remove all the hard drives except the troubled one
first.

ok setenv fcode-debug? true
fcode-debug? = true
ok setenv auto-boot? false
auto-boot? = false
ok reset-all

ok show-disks
a) /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/disk
b) /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@1f/cdrom
c) /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@1f/disk
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: q
ok select /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1

ok show-volumes
Volume 0 Target 0 Type IM (Integrated Mirroring)
Optimal Enabled
2 Members 143112591 Blocks, 73 GB
Disk 1
Primary Online
Target 4 FUJITSU MAY2073RCSUN72G 0401
Disk 0
Secondary Online
Target 1 FUJITSU MAY2073RCSUN72G 0401

ok 0 delete-volume
The volume and its data will be deleted
Are you sure (yes/no)? [no] yes
Volume 0 has been deleted

ok show-volumes
No volumes to show

ok setenv auto-boot? true
auto-boot? = true
ok setenv fcode-debug? false
fcode-debug? = false

You can now boot the system, run devfsadm to see the fixed hard
drive,
and run the format utility to detect the type and label the drive.

Note that when you run the show-volumes command one of the physical
disks in the array will be shown as Missing.

Original question:

I just added a disk to a V245 running Solaris 10. The new
(actually reused) disk will NOT be part of a RAID. However,
upon rebooting with the new disk, I don't see it in format(1M),
but I do see,

# raidctl
RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk
Volume Type Status Disk Status
------------------------------------------------------
c1t132d0 IM RESYNCING - MISSING
c1t2d0 OK
c1t0d0 IM OK c1t0d0 OK
c1t1d0 OK

So the disk is there, but the system seems to think it is
in an array. It very may well have been part of one in its
previous life. But when I try to break up that ghost volume,

# raidctl -d c1t132d0
Not a volume 'c1t132d0'

Since the controller, an LSI1064 HBA, is in between the OS
and the disk, I can't figure out a way to get in there to
kill any disk labels that are confusing the controller.

How do I break up that phantom volume and get access to that
disk? Thanks.
