How to Detach a Submirror (Command Line)

After checking the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Maintaining DiskSuite Objects"), and the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Mirrors"), use the metadetach(1M) command to detach a submirror from a mirror. Refer to the metadetach(1M) man page for more information.

Example -- Detaching a Submirror

# metastat
d5: mirror
    Submirror 0: d50
...
# metadetach d5 d50
d5: submirror d50 is detached

In this example, mirror d5 has a submirror, d50, which is detached with the metadetach(1M) command. The underlying slices from d50 are going to be reused elsewhere. When you detach a submirror from a mirror, the system displays a confirmation message.
