Split the Mirror Before the Software Update

1. First, determine the layout of the root file system:

# df -k /
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d10 10085921 1041301 8943761 11% /
# metastat -p d10
d10 -m d11 d12 1
d11 1 1 c0t2d0s0
d12 1 1 c0t3d0s0
2. Remove the mirror that is not being upgraded (for instance, in the example in
Step 1, d12:c0t3d0s0 will not be upgraded).
# metadetach d10 d12
d10: submirror d12 is detached
Like wise remove/detach all the submirror.
3. Revert to booting off the physical device that is being upgraded (d11 disk c0
t2d0s0 in this example):
root@patchtest-x4200-2 # metaroot c0t2d0s0
4. Verify that vfstab is now correct:
# grep c0t2d0s0 /etc/vfstab
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 /dev/rdsk/ / ufs 1 no -

# grep d10 /etc/vfstab

#
Now installboot on both the disk.
Now take the system to single user is necessary as per the patch readme file. on
