    Dear All,
    Pls Help.
    I have the boot disk mirrored using SDS 4.2.1 on ultra 5 sunning Solaris
    8. I intended to remove the mirror and removed the second disk. So I did
    the following:
    1. Break all mirrors: ( c0t0d0 )
          metadetach d0 d10
          metadetach d10 d12
          ...
    2. metaclear all mirros
         metaclear d10
         metaclear d12
         ....
    3. delete the metadb
         metadb -d /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
    4. reboot
    And I only got panic. I can't boot either disks.

    Pls advise on how to recover and remove the mirroring.

    Thank you.

    Regards
    Alan
