Below is the correct syntaks for fixing this issue.
It is the physical disk name you should use.
Here is also a snippet from a 5.1A release node.

3.6.1 LSM Commands Fail When Disk Left in Failing State
When a node boots into an existing cluster and has connectivity to a
failed device, it automatically brings the device online and
reestablishes the associations with appropriate disk media records.
After this process, the disk is occasionally left in the failing state,
which prevents the disk from being used when space is requested by
commands such as |*volassist*|.
If this situation occurs, you must manually turn off the disk's failing
state, as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# *voledit set failing=off device_name
*OUTPUT volprint
dm dsk9 dsk9 sliced 4096 53301919 FAILING
node1:/> voledit set failing=off dsk9
OUTPUT Volprint is now fine:
dm dsk9 dsk9 sliced 4096 53301919 -
