I've been told LiveUpgrade does the splitting/resyncing of mirrors automatically, which gobsmacked me. Haven't tried it yet, but when Xen is integrated into OpenSolaris (b75, in about a month) I'll be Live Upgrading back to Solaris Express, so stay tuned :) @anonymous : in fairness, all the options are documented in the respective manpages (but that doesn’t help if you don’t have a sun box already).

I've been looking for a way to combine SVM and LU and it appears that you may have the solution I've been looking for. In the above article, you stated: "Note I haven’t set up a slice for Live Upgrade . I’ll detach one submirror before an upgrade, then I can rollback or keep the upgrade by choosing which way to resync them afterwards."This makes total sense to me and it sounds like it should work just fine. However, I'm not comfortable enough w/SVM (yet) to attempt this with out seeing an example first. Could you please elaborate on this? Perhaps in a follow up article in a similar format to the one above? Thanks!
