Solaris Volume Manager: Break Mirror and use to make a 2nd machine
Hello:
I have a machine built on 2 drives and mirrors have been created to a second set of 2 drives (4 total) on the same platform. SVM.
Might anyone provide guidance to create a second machine by breaking the mirrored set, moving the two mirrors (2) to another machine (same platform type), and making them bootable; thus creating a second machine?

SYSID(5) AFS File Reference SYSID(5)
NAME
sysid - Lists file server machine interface addresses registered in VLDB
DESCRIPTION
The sysid file records the network interface addresses that the File Server (fileserver process) registers in the Volume Location Database
(VLDB) for the local file server machine.
Each time the File Server restarts, it builds a list of interfaces on the local machine by reading the /var/lib/openafs/local/NetInfo file,
if it exists. If the file does not exist, the File Server uses the list of network interfaces configured with the operating system. It then
removes from the list any addresses that appear in the /var/lib/openafs/local/NetRestrict file, if it exists. The File Server records the
resulting list in the binary-format sysid file and registers the interfaces in the VLDB.
When the Cache Manager requests volume location information, the Volume Location (VL) Server provides all of the interfaces registered for
each server machine that houses the volume. This enables the Cache Manager to make use of multiple addresses when accessing AFS data stored
on a multihomed file server machine.
CAUTIONS
The sysid file is unique to each file server machine, and must not be copied from one machine to another. If it is a common practice in the
cell to copy the contents of the /var/lib/openafs/local directory from an existing file server machine to a newly installed one, be sure to
remove the sysid file from the new machine before starting the "fs" trio of processes, which includes the fileserver process.
A maximum of 15 file server interface addresses can be registered in the VLDB.
