There are many circumstances in which it may be necessary to remove the operating system from Veritas Volume Manager control. For years, Veritas included the command vxunroot to accomplish this task; however, it had several restrictions, including the inability to execute if there were any partitions on the rootdisk other than the big-4 (/, /var, swap, and /opt). However, I just discovered that version VxVM 3.5 no longer includes this restriction. I've tested it successfully, and the following description may only be necessary for those systems running earlier versions of VxVM.

Typically, the administrator is often under pressure while performing these types of maintenance. Because simple mistakes at this stage can render the system unusable, it is important that the process be well documented and tested prior to using it in production.

In the example below, the server pegasus has two internal disks (c0t0d0 and c0t1d0) under Veritas Volume Manager control. The operating system is mirrored between the two devices.

  1. From the "ok" prompt, boot from the cdrom device into single-user mode:

    ok boot cdrom -s                                                                
    Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f  File and args: -s

    # TERM=vt100; export TERM
    #
    
  2. Perform a filesystem check on the root filesystem:

    # format 
              /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
           1. c0t1d0 
              /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0
    Specify disk (enter its number):
    
    # fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
    ** /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
    ** Last Mounted on /
    ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
    ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
    ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
    ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
    ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
    41356 files, 1047059 used, 5553722 free (4802 frags, 693615 blocks,  0.0% fragmentation)
    # mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
    
    
  3. Update the /a/etc/system file, removing references to the VxVM root device:

    # cp /a/etc/system /a/etc/system.orig
    # vi /a/etc/system
    
    The system must not boot from the Veritas volumes. You can either delete the following two lines or change them from:
    rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
    set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1
    
    to:
    * rootdev:/pseudo/vxio@0:0
    * set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1
    
  4. Restore the pre-VxVM version of the vfstab file. Note that the vxinstall process makes a backup copy of the original vfstab file named vfstab.prevm. We'll make use of that backup now:

    # cp /a/etc/vfstab /a/etc/vfstab.vm
    
    # cp /a/etc/vfstab.prevm /a/etc/vfstab
    
    # cat /a/etc/vfstab
    #device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
    #to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
    #
    #/dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 /usr          ufs     1       yes     -
    fd                  -                  /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
    /proc               -                  /proc   proc    -       no      -
    /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1   -                  -       swap    -       no      -
    /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0   /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 /       ufs     1       no      logging
    /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4   /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s4 /var    ufs     1       no      logging
    swap                -                  /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -
    
  5. If the install-db file exists, the VxVM daemons will not start on bootup:

    # touch /a/etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
  6. The root-done file indicates that the root disk has been encapsulated. Remove it now:

    # rm /a/etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/root-done
  7. Finally, unmount the root filesystem and reboot:

    # cd /; umount /a

    # stop-a

  8. Boot from the root device

    ok boot

At this point, the operating system is no longer under Veritas Volume Manager control. The disk c0t1d0 is unused, and the system would not survive the failure of c0t0d0 if it were to die now.

Note that even though the operating system is no longer under system control, in some cases you might wish to continue running Veritas volume manager for non-os volumes. In this situation a few additional steps are required:

  1. Manually start up volume manager processes:

    # rm /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
    # vxiod set 10
    # vxconfigd -m disable
    # vxdctl enable

  2. Confirm that all previous root volumes are accessible:

    # vxprint -ht

  3. Remove the previous root volumes from VxVM:

    # vxedit -rf rm rootvol swapvol var

  4. Remove the root disk from VxVM:

    # vxdg rmdisk rootdisk

  5. Finally, restore the original vtoc to c0t0d0:

    DO YOU WANT TO WRITE THIS TO THE DISK ? [Y/N] :y     
    WRITING THE NEW VTOC TO THE DISK
    

At this point the root disk c0t0d0 is completely free of VxVM, but any other Veritas volumes can be brought online and mounted if required.
