To detach a submirror means to put it off line so you can access its 
constituent disk drives. You detach a submirror with a 

metadetach

 

command. The command is in the format:

metadetach

<metamirror>

<submirror>

where 

<metamirror> is the mirror and <submirror> is the submirror to be 

detached. 

To continue our example, since c0t2d0 is part of d20, which is a submirror 
of d21, the detach command would be as follows:

If the faulty disk is a boot disk, a 

metastat

 command also shows the 

disk as part of the d11 or d12 submirror. Be sure to detach both the 
submirrors of which it is a member. For example:

#

metadetach

d21

d20

d21: submirror d20 is detached

#

metadetach

d13

d12

d13: submirror d12 is detached

#

metadetach

d21

d20

d21: submirror d20 is detached
