Break off vx-rootmirror

Hi,

I'm using Veritas vxvm to mirror rootvol. I want to break the mirror, make
some changes, test, and if succesfull, re-sync the mirror.

I can do this using vxplex det rootvol-02
Also with vxmend off rootvol-02

But this "break" is not useful because I can not boot from the mirror (in
case the tests fail, I want to go back to the mirror and sync back to the
rootdisk)

When I try to boot from the rootmirror, I get the following:

Rebooting with command: boot vx-rootmirror
Firmware Password:

VxVM starting in boot mode...
vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: System boot disk does not have a valid rootvol plex
Please boot from one of the following disks:

        Disk: rootdisk Device: c0t0d0s2

vxvm:vxconfigd: ERROR: System startup failed
syncing file systems... done
Program terminated

Can anybody help? Is there a way to do this besides physically
disconnecting the mirror disk?

Thanx,
