the recommended way to replace a disk is to run vxdiskadm and go for option .

there are normally two scenarios needing to repalce a disk - disk failed or remove a disk then replace it with a new one.  For either operation please consult with the technotes below.

To remove and repalce a disk: http://sort.symantec.com/public/documents/sf/5.0/hpux/html/vxvm_admin/ag_ch_disks_vm36.html

Running other vx* commends (like vxplex, vxsd, vxmake, vxdisk, vxassist etc) to replace a disk is not recommended
