Thanks for everybody's response. It seems that we are all doing something around the official procedure in document Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide (http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/816-4520/816-4520.pdf), section: Removing RAID-1 Volumes (Unmirroring).

Just to let you know, I have tested the script mentioned in my initial post and worked well, and have not experienced issues so far.

I have a question though, when mirroring is broken and you reboot the system, which disk the system is going to boot from (e.g. disk 0 or disk 1)? Is there a way find out after the system is started (i.e. from OS)? The reason I am asking is if the activity (e.g. patching) fails and you want to boot from the other disk and then make sure that syncing is running properly when re-mirror.
