How to unencapsulate Veritas VM 3.5 root disk ***Newbie question***

underh20.scubadiving@gmail.com

Our server is running Solaris 8 and Veritas VM 3.5-mp3. We plan to
upgrade our HBA driver and need to "break the connection" to the
mirror root disk. What's the correct procedure/command to
unencapsulate the root disk before the driver upgrade and to re-
encapsulate the root disk after the upgrade ? Below are some of
current settings. Thanks, Bill



# ls -lt /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 25 2004 root-done


# cat /etc/system

*set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1
* vxvm_END (do not remove)
