Summary: How to delete metadb replica in non-existent hard disk

Thanks Sean,

Your suggestion works!  But, the null device should be linked to
/dev/rdsk/c2* rather than /dev/dsk/c2*.

===

Haven't tried this myself but it should work.  Remove the links in
/dev/dsk corresponding to the slices and recreating them to something
else such as blank files or links else where (/dev/null or /bin/true).
Remove the replicas and then recreate the correct links.

Sean.
