I *think* you should probably set the new disk as a hotspare. But who knows what this crazy firmware is doing.

You sure that is your problem? http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5248-20/appd.html Note that there are many different devices known as "LSI raid". At least: mpi(4) (formerly mpt), ami(4), mfi(4).
