I know early-on there was issues where after doing this, VxVM would still not
initalize the disk until after a reboot.  Unfortuantely, since then I have not
had any available systems to do further testing (had other things that needed to
be tested).  Anyone know if this is still the case?

If the disk is part of a mirror, you can use ''zpool detach'' to
remove
the disk.  If it''s part of a RAID-Z vdev, you can replace it (but not
remove it) with ''zpool replace''.  We do not support removing a
toplevel
device, yet.  It''s on our list - see the ZFS FAQ.

To reinitiate the disk in VxVm:

<after relabel the disk:>

# drvconfig; disks
# vxdctl enable
# vxdiskadm         <add more disk...etc...>
