    Hello

    There may be a simple solution for this, but I cannot see it (or it's just
    been a long day!!)....

    If I have the metadisk setup for the root disk
      d0 mirror to d10
      d0 mirror to d20

    If I detach d20
      metadetach d0 d20

    I can then boot of either d0 or d20 (have tested this). There are great
    examples on this from BigAdmin in 817-0407-10.pdf - Configuring Boot Disks
    With Solaris(tm) Volume Manager Software

    If I boot of d0, then I can re-attach and sync d20 (i.e. d20 is a copy of
    d10), this is no problem...BUT, it I boot on d20 (and make changes to d20)
    is there a simple way to sync d0 (or d10) to d20, so d10 is then an exact
    copy of d20.

    The only way I can see so far is to completely destroy d0 and d10, then
    rebuild the whole mirror...this seems a bit over the top!

    Cheers

    Paul
