            Managers, we had a machine operating with a 2-disk LSM mirror
    set for the boot volume. One of the disks failed (on boot), and LSM
    broke the mirror set and booted the system using the second drive. The
    faulty disk has subsequently been replaced, and we are attempting to
    rebuild the mirroring.

            We have labelled the new disk identically to the current boot
    disk (except for setting the fstype to unused for each partition), and
    then executed:

    # volrootmir -a dsk11

            Only to be confronted with:

    > Mirroring system disk dsk2 to disk dsk11.
    >
    > Mirroring rootvol to dsk11a.
    > lsm:volassist: ERROR: Error in subdisk root01-01p
    > lsm:volassist: ERROR: Could not attach new mirror(s) to volume rootvol

            At this point, we're at a loss where to go next. Was there
    some cleanup that we missed from the failure? Did we skip a step? Any
    guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks!
