Fixing Solaris Cluster device ID (DID) mismatches

I had to replace a disk in one of my cluster nodes, and was greeted with the following message once the disk was swapped and I checked the devices for consistency:

$ cldevice checkcldevice: (C894318) Device ID "snode2:/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0" does not match physical device ID for "d5".

Warning: Device "snode2:/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0" might have been replaced.

$ cldevice repairUpdating shared devices on node 1Updating shared devices on node 2

Once the repair operation updated the devids, cldevice ran cleanly:

$ cldevice checkNiiiiiiiiice!
