URGENT: Bad Disk in Veritas Volume Manaager (disconnected) replacement

[Craig A. Sharp]

I have a disk that is bad and showing disconnected in VEA. I need to replace this disk. The plex that the disk is part of is running and started. Can I just pull this disk and put in the replacement and have the system recognize the new disk and rebuild the plex? How do I do this without damage to the running system?

[Craig A. Sharp]

Also fyi, this disk in part of a DS2405 fibre array.
