Solaris DiskSuite, boot from detached disk

Hi,

I am running Solaris 8 on Sun server with 2 hard drives. I have configured mirroring on the system using DiskSuite tool in order to have the same data on both disks. Now I want to perform some software upgrade and I would like to use the second disk as a backup disk. This means taking this disk out of the system, performing the upgrade on disk one and after that trying to boot from disk 2 in case that something with the upgrade fails.

I donīt know which is exactly the procedure to do this. I have tried removing submirrors (metadetach and metaclear) and state databases from disk 2 and editing vfstab file, but when trying to boot from disk 2 it doesnīt work. Is this the right procedure? Has anyone faced such a problem before?

BR
Carlos
