confusing aaccli output ...

Hello,

I had a mirror lose one of its members - after putting a new drive in to
replace it (correct size, etc.) I now see this in aaccli:

AAC0> container list
Executing: container list
Num          Total  Oth Chunk          Scsi   Partition
Label Type   Size   Ctr Size   Usage   B:ID:L Offset:Size
----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
 0    Mirror 34.1GB            Open    0:00:0 64.0KB:34.1GB
 /dev/aacd0           mirror0          0:01:0 64.0KB:34.1GB

 1    Mirror 68.3GB            Open      --- Missing ---
 /dev/aacd1           mirror1          0:03:0 64.0KB:68.3GB

 2    Legacy 68.3GB            Valid   0:02:0 0.00 B:68.3GB
 /dev/aacd2


When in reality I expected the controller to automatically rebuild the
mirror onto this disk.

What does the "Legacy" keyword mean ?

My plan now is as follows:

disk initialize 0,2,0
container set failover 1 (0,2,0)


My questions are as follows:

1. is that procedure correct ?  Should I add a `disk verify` between those
two commands ?

2. Is that procedure safe, as in, won't disrupt the existing mirrors ?
(dell has often told me to never initialize a disk with other disks up and
running at the same time - is there any real danger, or are they just
afraid I will commit a typo ?)


Many thnks
