hi,

i have a system root on svm.i like to know which way is better to patch solaris 9.

- a way is to break the mirror,then reboot in single user mode.no modification on /etc/vfstab and /etc/system.after patch reboot and metattach the detached disk to md root disk(that contains only a submiror0.

-a way is to break the mirror then edit /etc/vfstab and /etc/system taken out the md device and replace it with detached disk name-/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0.the reboot in single user mode,patch then reboot.here i should metaclear the mirror and submirror that exist then recreate the metadevice from c0t0d0s0 and c0t1d0s0:

metainit d0 1 1 c0t0d0s0

metainit d1 1 1 c0t1d0s0

metainit d2 -m d0

metattach d2 d1

this way is seen in many docum.

why this way?

which way is better?

tnx
