Still unable to activate volume groups

I have a K450 with about 5 Winchester RAIDs attached to it. The server houses an Oracle database and recently one of the disk arrays went band, and the shelf itself needed to be replaced whereas the disks were fine. I replaced the shelf yesterday and was able to remap the logical drive without any problem. However, once I get back on the system and try to mount the filesystems from those disks, I am unable to. Two volume groups: vg05a and vg05b resided on those disks: /dev/dsk/c2t3d1 and /dev/dsk/c2t3d0. When I attempt to do a vgchange -a y /dev/vg05a it tells me that the path of the physical volume refers to a device that does not exist or is not configured into the kernel. So I think I need to somehow remap the location of the new disks because something probably changed in switching out that shelf. How do I do this? Will rebooting cause the system to rescan everything and map it out correctly and if so is it possible to accomplish this without rebooting?
Thanks. [sig][/sig]
 
Not sure if this will help but the only time we had a similar problem was when we were swapping jamaica boxes on our K450.

Somehow when the box was being moved the jumpers on the back got changed so the Physical SCSI address and device files no longer matched..

Might be something like that?
