I received one reply, from Vince Hockney, who thought it was harmless to
vxdctl enable. I did it without any problems, but turns out my real
issue was the original replacement disk from Sun Service was no good.
Replacing the replacement did the trick.

Original question:
>I incorrectly replaced a failed disk in an SSA100: after the disk was
>marked bad by vxva, I shut the system down, replaced with a new disk
and
>rebooted. THEN I remembered I should've done a "vxdiskadm, option 4
>(remove a failed disk)" before pulling the disk. Now when I access
>vxva, my messages file gets errors like:
