Hello,
We replaced failed FC drive and all looks good at OS level. However, under veritas control it is showing as error and everytime we run vxdctl its generating new error devices. We cleaned up the device tree (both veritas and OS : removed disk from veritas, dmp, removed device using luxadm and physicall y removed disk, then devfsadm -Cv, inserted the drive, os detected, vxconfigd -k), still no luck. We followed instructions religiously from technote

We are planning to reboot, however would like to check if anything i'm missing.
Thanks in Advance

We left with no option and rebooted the machine. That fixed the issue.

If these steps don't work, seems you have no choice but to do reconfiguration reboot:
1. mv /etc/vx/array.info /etc/vx/array.info.old
2. mv /etc/vx/disk.info /etc/vx/disk.info.old
3. rm /dev/vx/dmp/*
4. rm /dev/vx/rdmp/*
5. rm /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# <------Remove all entries except for internal boot devices.
6. rm /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s# <-------Remove all entries except for internal boot devices.
7. devfsadm -Cv
8. vxconfigd -k
