The following sequence of steps assumes that the system starts as a standard encapsulated

boot disk and associated mirror device.

1. Record which slices of rootmirror are allocated for the Veritas public and private
regions (3 and 4 in our case):
2.
3.
4.
5.

# vxdisk list rootmirror | egrep "private|public"

flags:
online ready private autoconfig autoimport imported
public:
slice=3 offset=1 len=17690400
private:
slice=4 offset=1 len=3359

6. Disassociate and then remove all of the operating system plexes on the mirror
device "rootmirror":
# vxplex -g rootdg dis rootvol-02 swapvol-02 var-02
# vxedit -g rootdg -r rm rootvol-02 swapvol-02 var-02

7. Remove the rootmirror disk from rootdg

# vxdg -g rootdg rmdisk rootmirror

8. Run a filesystem check on each of the ufs filesystem slices on c0t1d0 (formerly
identified as "rootmirror"):
# fsck -F ufs -y /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
# fsck -F ufs -y /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s4

9. Update the /etc/system and /etc/vfstab files on c0t1d0 so that there are no
references to volume manager devices:
10. # mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt
11. # cp /mnt/etc/system /mnt/etc/system.orig
12. # vi /mnt/etc/system

Change the lines:

rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1

to:
* rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
* set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1

13. Restore the pre-VxVM version of the vfstab file. Note that the vxinstall process
makes a backup copy of the original vfstab file named vfstab.prevm. We'll make
use of that backup now:
14. # cp /mnt/etc/vfstab /mnt/etc/vfstab.vm

15.
16. # cp /mnt/etc/vfstab.prevm /mnt/etc/vfstab

Edit the /mnt/etc/vfstab file so that it references c0t1 instead of c0t0:

# cat /mnt/etc/vfstab
#device
