We have a pair of Sunfire v20z's (WITH LSI MPT raid) that have each had one drive in their mirrors die.

So that's the machine type established. Let's take a look at our array health:
# raidctl
RAID Volume RAID RAID Disk
Volume Type Status Disk Status
------------------------------------------------------
c1t0d0 IM DEGRADED c1t0d0 OK
c1t1d0 FAILED
Ok simple enough. Since these machines aren't hot swap, I powered one off and replaced the drive. When booting the machine it spits out some warning that the array is degraded and the kernel messages show this after the system boots:

So it looks like everything is p-normal so far. BUT now when I run raidctl the array is GONE!
# raidctl
No RAID volumes found
Oh both disks are visible to the system
# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 34999 alt 2 hd 16 sec 128>
/pci@0,0/pci1022,7450@a/pci17c2,10@4/sd@0,0

/pci@0,0/pci1022,7450@a/pci17c2,10@4/sd@1,0
The system knows the volume exists AND it's status but I cannot add the second drive to the mirror and fix the degraded array. Unix junkies, please help!
