If you don't do an unencapsulate of the root mirror after you detach it, you will have a world of pain if you try to boot from it. See man page for vxunroot and there's a procedure for doing this manually floating around on the web....

If so, could you please outline the procedure you used to do so? Conceptually, it isn't difficult. Break the plexes on rootdg - remove the root mirror disk from rootdg - perform your LiveUpgrade on the root mirror. After the upgrade completes, reboot up on the root mirror into your newly upgraded O/S. Simple - right? My question surrounds how to then make that un-encapsuated "mirror" disk now the primary rootdg. This is pretty straightforward using SVM (Solstice Disksuite) but VxVM does a lot more under the hood when dealing with the root volumes. Is there an easy way to disassociate the plex from the rootdisk under rootvol, encapsulate your upgraded "root mirror" disk, and then associate the rootvol under rootdg with this? Thanks!
