I'd probably still do that. With VxVM 4.0, you don't need to have a rootdg. So you could ufsdump/ufsrestore to another disk, change the /etc/system and /etc/vfstab so that you boot from the disk but off the raw slices, not a rootvolume. Then assuming that is successful, clean up the old rootdg. When complete, you can re-encapsulate and mirror if you want. > I tried unencapsulation then rebooting in solaris then > ufsdump and restore on new disk. > Then install boot and then reboot it did not work. How did it not work? Errors? Messages? Did you modify /etc/system and /etc/vfstab so that you were not booting from the old rootvol? -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
