Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

Note: You may need to run commands that are specific to the operating system
or disk array before removing a physical disk.
If failures are starting to occur on a disk, but the disk has not yet failed completely,
you can replace the disk. This involves detaching the failed or failing disk from
its disk group, followed by replacing the failed or failing disk with a new one.
Replacing the disk can be postponed until a later date if necessary.
If removing a disk causes a volume to be disabled, you can restart the volume so
that you can restore its data from a backup.
See the Veritas Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide.
