Oops! It's a one-side mirror so one can't re-sync from the other side of the mirror. File system is consistent as it can be mounted (fsck shows no errors). SVM does not agree.

• Do a backup
• Umount the file system (in this case it was /oracle)
• Drop the mirror: metaclear -f d200
• recreate mirror: metainit d200 -m d201
• The maintance state is now OK:
