vxconfigd can dynamically map the root/boot volume to use
minor device 0. This would allow /dev/vx/rdsk/rootvolume
to always reference the root volume, no matter which disk
group it is in and no matter what volume was booted from.

That's not a big deal. Unless you're dealing with some development

While you could do a root mirror break-off, I'd rather use Live Upgrade
with Solaris. That way you build up the new boot environment and then
boot onto it. If you want to patch, you use LU and the same OS level on
both sides. Then you patch the inactive boot environment from the active
BE, then act
