Undo the Veritas mirroring and update from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10

Hi all

I wish to undo the mirroring for root and update the Solaris version from 8 to 10. Since i am lack of knowledge and experience on this, hope you all can help me double check the step and correct me.

Existing disk groups details
Code:
root@leo # vxdg list
NAME         STATE           ID
rootdg       enabled              1118297081.6.leo1

root@leo # vxdg list rootdg

v  swapvol      swap         ENABLED  49129728 -        ACTIVE   -       -
pl swapvol-01   swapvol      ENABLED  49129728 -        ACTIVE   -       -
sd rootdg01-01  swapvol-01   ENABLED  49129728 0        -        -       -
pl swapvol-02   swapvol      ENABLED  49129728 -        ACTIVE   -       -
sd rootdg02-02  swapvol-02   ENABLED  49129728 0        -        -       -

If i wish to undo this mirroring, is it the below step correct? Kindly advise
Code:
# vxdg rmdisk rootdg02
# vxdisk rm c1t1d0s2 
# vxdg destroy rootdg
