Cause
Starting from VxVM(Veritas Volume Manager) 6.1, by default all non-detached disks within a disk group should be accessible to the system so that the disk group can be successfully imported.
It impacts system boot with alternative encapsulated boot disk when original encapsulated boot disk is unavailable.
Resolution
There is no workaround. Code changes have been made to skip such check when trying to import rootdg.
6.2 addressed this and would release in Dec 2014.
If you need a private hotfix for 6.1, plase contact Veritas Techniccal Support.
When you encountered this issue, and became unbootable, please refer 000041742.
