You can't do that..
If you wish to boot from the 2nd disk, you will need to boot from cdrom, mount it and change the system and vfstab files back to original and reboot.
SVM only eliminates single point of failure whilst your system is running. But if you choose to boot from an alternate disk, you need to do this, unless you set the 2nd disk as your "main" mirror during your SVM setup

SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID-COMMIT.SERVICE(8) systemd-machine-id-commit.service SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID-COMMIT.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-machine-id-commit.service - Commit a transient machine ID to disk
SYNOPSIS
systemd-machine-id-commit.service
DESCRIPTION
systemd-machine-id-commit.service is an early boot service responsible for committing transient /etc/machine-id files to a writable disk
file system. See machine-id(5) for more information about machine IDs.
This service is started after local-fs.target in case /etc/machine-id is a mount point of its own (usually from a memory file system such
as "tmpfs") and /etc is writable. The service will invoke systemd-machine-id-setup --commit, which writes the current transient machine ID
to disk and unmount the /etc/machine-id file in a race-free manner to ensure that file is always valid and accessible for other processes.
See systemd-machine-id-setup(1) for details.
The main use case of this service are systems where /etc/machine-id is read-only and initially not initialized. In this case, the system
manager will generate a transient machine ID file on a memory file system, and mount it over /etc/machine-id, during the early boot phase.
This service is then invoked in a later boot phase, as soon as /etc has been remounted writable and the ID may thus be committed to disk to
make it permanent.
