Hello, I've read a few places on the internet that a fairly easy and
straight forward way to safetly break your rootdisk  mirroring for purposes
of patching the Solaris OS, is to turn off your machine and remove your
root-mirror drive from the machine. Boot off of your rootdisk, do your
patching and if everything goes ok, put your rootmirror drive back in the
machine, vxattach it back into the mirror. If the patching fails for some
reason power down the machine, remove the rootdisk drive put in the
rootmirror drive and boot then put the rootdisk drive and have it resync off
of the rootmirror disk.

Is this a supported way of rolling back from patching?  Is there any
documentation that thoroughly describes the process?

It certainly seems much easier than the documenation I've read from Symantec
that explains how to remove the rootmirror entirely from a software level.

Thank you for any pointers in this matter.

Romeo
