Thanks hicksd8 for your reply.
You're right, I will use ufsdump for the backup. But i thought I could break mirror in metadevice and then update the vfstab with direct partition device names so that I could boot with physical device (instead of mirror md)?
For updating to u11, what is the best approach? we don't have support subscription for this machine. Could I just apply latest (or the one that matches update-11) recommended patchset to get to the update-11?
Best,

Is it possible to "upgrade" Sol10 update 9 to update 10 by booting from the DVD? I had never even tried this until a user asked me to do it, so i tried and it just hung there after the part where it reads the rules.ok file.
Is this even possible to upgrade? or does it have to be a new install.

metaroot
metaroot(1M) metaroot(1M)
NAME
metaroot - setup system files for root (/) metadevice
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/metaroot -h
/usr/sbin/metaroot [-n] [-k system-name] [-v vfstab-name] [-c mddb.cf-name] [-m md.conf-name] [-R root-path] device
The metaroot command edits the /etc/vfstab and /etc/system files so that the system may be booted with the root file system (/) on an
appropriate metadevice. The only metadevices that support the root file system are a stripe with only a single slice or a mirror on a sin-
gle-slice stripe.
If necessary, the metaroot command can reset a system that has been configured to boot the root file system (/) on a metadevice so that it
uses a physical slice.
Root privileges are required for all of the following options except -h.
The following options are supported:
-c mddb.cf-name Use mddb.cf-name instead of the default /etc/lvm/mddb.cf file as a source of metadevice database locations.
-h Display a usage message.
-k system-name Edit a user-supplied system-name instead of the default /etc/system system configuration information file.
-m md.conf-name Edit the configuration file specified by md.conf-name rather than the default, /kernel/drv/md.conf.
-n Print what would be done without actually doing it.
-R root-path When metaroot modifies system files, it accesses them in their relative location under root-path.
The -R option cannot be used in combination with the -c, -k,-m, or -v options.
Note - The root file system of any non-global zones must not be referenced with the -R option. Doing so might damage the
global zone's file system, might compromise the security of the global zone, and might damage the non-global zone's
file system. See zones(5).
-v vfstab-name Edit vfstab-name instead of the default /etc/vfstab table of file system defaults.
The following operands are supported:
device Specifies either the metadevice or the conventional disk device (slice) used for the root file system (/).
Example 1: Specifying Root File System on Metadevice
The following command edits /etc/system and /etc/vfstab to specify that the root file system is now on metadevice d0.
# metaroot d0
Example 2: Specifying Root File System on SCSI Disk
The following command edits /etc/system and /etc/vfstab to specify that the root file system is now on the SCSI disk device
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0.
# metaroot /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0
/etc/system System configuration information file. See system(4).
/etc/vfstab File system defaults.
/etc/lvm/mddb.cf Metadevice state database locations.
/kernel/drv/md.conf Configuration file for the metadevice driver, md.
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
