Default How to remove mirros from two disks

Hi,

Can anyone help with this issue. I have 3 boot disks that are triple
mirrored with the same VG name.. I want to take one of the disk out of
this mirror and still keep the info and boot from that disk to rename
the VG name to /dev/vg01. so that I can use that disk for another system
load.. I am trying to avoid having to reload the boot disk.

==> Right now these disks have UNIX + PATCHES on them only.. Nothing
else...

Here's what I have so far:

1. I have 3 boot disks that are mirrord with vgname = /dev/vg00

c0t14 <==> c4t14 <==> c0t0


2. I want to keep disks c0t14 mirrorred onto c4t14 and unmirror disk
c0t0 and keep all the info there on c0t0..

3. Then I want to boot they system from c0t0 and rename /dev/vg00 to
/dev/vg01..

I would appreciate any help on this matter..

Regards,
Nay

I believe lvsplit (1M) should be of help. Check the man pages.
