How to detach mirror disks in Solaris? Assuming we us SVM, we normally do this like this, manually:
metastat -c d0 (verify disk components)
eeprom bood-device (further verify the boot disk)
synch;
metadetach rootdev detachdevice
or put it a script for repetitive use and to avoice typo mistakes:
cat detach_mirror.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
rootdev=`df -k /|tail -1|awk '{print $1}'|cut -d"/" -f5`
bootdisk=`eeprom boot-device|cut -d"=" -f2|awk '{print $1}'`
if [[ $bootdisk = "disk" || $bootdisk = "disk0" ]]; then
detachdev=`metastat -p $rootdev|tail -2|grep -v "t0d0"|awk '{print $1}'`
elif [[ $bootdisk = "disk1" ]]; then
detachdev=`metastat -p $rootdev|tail -2|grep -v "t1d0"|awk '{print $1}'`
elif [[ $bootdisk = "disk2" ]]; then
detachdev=`metastat -p $rootdev|tail -2|grep -v "t2d0"|awk '{print $1}'`
else
echo "Unknown disk to detach"
exit

echo "root device is $rootdev"

metastat -p $rootdev
