Solaris Replacing encapsulated root disk

[Replace the failed disk and boot the node:]

ok boot cdrom -s
...
[Use format and newfs to create partitions and file systems]
[Mount the root file system on a temporary mount point:]
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
[Restore the root file system:]
# cd /a
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0
# rm restoresymtable
[Create an empty install-db file:]
# touch /a/etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
[Edit /etc/system on the temporary file system and
remove or comment out the following entries:]
# rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
# set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1
[Edit /etc/vfstab on the temporary file system:]
Example:
Change from—
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/rootvol /dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/rootvol / ufs 1 no-

Change to—
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
[Unmount the temporary file system, then check the file system:]
# cd /
# umount /a
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
[Install a new boot block:]
# /usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/`uname \
-i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

[Reboot:]
# reboot
[Update the disk ID:]
# cldevice repair /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
[Encapsulate the disk::]
# vxinstall
Choose to encapsulate the root disk.
[If a conflict in minor number occurs, reminor the rootdg disk group
:]
# umount /global/.devices/node@nodeid
# vxdg reminor rootdg 100
# shutdown -g0 -i6 -y
