removing root disk and creating parition

[krishsays]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem here. We built a system and the root disk was created with the default partitions and there were still some space available on it and this disk was put under veritas control and it was mirrored.Now We want to create one more partition on this disk. I want to disconnect the mirror and then remove it from Veritas control and then use format/partition to create the desired partition and then again encapsulate it and put it under Veritas control so that data remains the intact. Please let me know if this would create any problems. Are there any chances that i will screw up the OS ?
Reason to do this "some clustering issues which will take lot of time to explain. So I have to do this no other choice. Please let me a rough procedure for doing this and whether this is feasible or not ..

thanks,

I will try to answer your question with a question to your first.

Why would you need to remove the disk from Volume Manager to add or create a new partition? Yous should be able to do this with the disk encapsulated.

You may want to try the SUN Solaris or General UNIX forums as this is the NetBackup Forum, not Volume Manager.
