replace the disk:

failed disk mydg02 in disk group mydg.

❖ If the disk has already been initialized, press Return at the following prompt to
replace the disk:

between different operating systems, or as a non-portable hpdisk-format disk:
Enter the desired format [cdsdisk,hpdisk,q,?] (default: cdsdisk)
Enter the format that is appropriate for your needs. In most cases, this is the default
format, cdsdisk.
6. At the following prompt, vxdiskadm asks if you want to use the default private
region size of 2048 blocks. Press Return to confirm that you want to use the default
value, or enter a different value. (The maximum value that you can specify is 524288
blocks.)
Enter desired private region length [<privlen>,q,?] (default: 2048)

message on success:
