Second Mirror is not booting !

Code:
zpool status -v

below my mirrors in Solaris 10

Code:
config:

        NAME              STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool             ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror-0        ONLINE       0     0     0
            c3t0d0s0      ONLINE       0     0     0
            c3t1d0s0      ONLINE       0     0     0
            emcpower9a    ONLINE       0     0     0

I run below command to detach second mirror

Code:
zpool detach rpool c3t1d0s0



c3t1d0s0 is not in the mirrors as the below


Code:
config:

        NAME              STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool             ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror-0        ONLINE       0     0     0
            c3t0d0s0      ONLINE       0     0     0
            emcpower9a    ONLINE       0     0     0

I changed the boot device to the second mirror by this command

Code:
root@ppa-dbtest # luxadm set_boot_dev /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s0    
Do you want to change boot-device to the new setting? (y/n) y

booting is configured to /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s0


now I execute this command reboot-- -r to reboot the server to boot from c3t1d0s0 as configured above ..


but I'm getting this error after reboot the server by reboot-- -r


Code:
Rebooting with command: boot -r
Boot device: /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@w21000014c38aa5aa,0:a  File and args: -r

detached mirror

Can't mount root

Evaluating: 
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
{3} ok

Please advice I want to boot from the second disk c3t1d0s0 which is not in mirror state ..


Pls advice
