1. Unencapsulate the root disk using the SSVM upgrade_start script.

   Find the script in the /Tools/scripts directory on your SSVM media. Run the script from only one node. In this example, CDROM_path is the path to the tools on the SSVM media.

   phys-hahost1# CDROM_path/Tools/scripts/upgrade_start

2. Reboot the node.

3. Edit the /etc/name_to_major file and remove the appropriate entry, for example, /dev/vx/{dsk,rdsk,dmp,rdmp}.

4. Reboot the node.

5. Run the following command:

   phys-hahost1# vxconfigd -k -r reset

6. Re-encapsulate the root disk using the SSVM upgrade_finish script.

   Find the script in the /Tools/scripts directory on your SSVM media. Run the script from only one node.

   phys-hahost1# CDROM_path/Tools/scripts/upgrade_finish

7. Reboot the node.
