You do not have to recover the *SM database: it simply catalogs the data in
storage pools and will adapt to what happens thereafter.
If *SM did not fail with the loss of the disk, you can add its replacement to
the online system (if your OS and disk hardware so permit doing this live)
and proceed, deleting the failed volume thereafter.
If the storage pool disk was cached and written to the next stgpool level,
you have only to replace the failed disk.
If the storage pool disk data was lost and you had done a Backup Stgpool
beforehand, you can do a Restore Volume to get the data back.
If the disk was lost before the data was in some way replicated, it's gone:
mark the volume as Destroyed; do a Restore Volume to fully assure that none of
it is recoverable; Delete Volume.
Refer to the Admin Guide manual for the larger view of recovery.
