    After step 1, it is easier to revert back to old disk and after step 3 before removing subdisk, it is still fairly easy as you just recreate your plex and associate plex as your data remains intact in the subdisk.  After you remove subdisk you can still revert back to old disk if you create the subdisks in exactly the same place - so you should take a "vxprint -m" so you have all the information to create objects exactly as they were.  You can use "vxmake -d desc_file" to recrete objects where desc_file contains the subdisks from the "vxprint -m" output
