How to unencapsulate a VxVM managed Solaris root drive:

boot cdrom -s
fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s0
mount /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s0 /a
cp /a/etc/system /a/etc/system-DATE
vi /etc/system

Delete the following two lines:

rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
set vxio:vol_root_dev_is_volume=1

cp /a/etc/vfstab /a/etc/vfstab-DATE
cat /a/etc/vfstab.prevm
cp /a/etc/vfstab.prevm /a/etc/vfstab

Comment out all /dev/vx entries in rootdg and all other vxvm dg's in /etc/vfstab

touch /a/etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
rm /a/etc/vx/reconfid.d/root-done

luxadm set_boot_dev /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s0

umount /a

Boot from disk in /etc/vfstab
