Greetings,

     The title says it all, I have been able to do the above with veritas,
     the verita solution is
     1- save a copy of vfstab and edit vfstab to have only stuff of the
root disk. break the mirror
     2- manually make the mirror physical drive (mount the mirror, in its
/mnt/etc/system remove all the veritas stuff, fix its /mnt/etcvfstab so it
points to physical slices of mirror)
     3- Uninstall veritas.
     4- boot off of the mirror
     5- replace the original rootdisk, repartition do ufsdump | ufsrestore
of the mirror to the new disk.
     6 install boot and boot off of the new disk. Install veritas
encapsulating root.
      7- install the new mirror and resync.

     A similar procedure should work for disksuite, do you see any
problems, alternatives?

Mike
