Sorta.  You can't can't boot from a currently detatched plex.  The usual
way around that is to completly remove it from VxVM.

But there's no reason I can think of that the other side couldn't be
re-encapsulated into another diskgroup, and again marked as a root
volume in that group (unless you're running < 4.0 where this would be
*much* more difficult).

Destroying the dg on the mirror disk is pretty simple to script.
Scripting a one-pass re-encap on the other side, I'm not sure.  Maybe
'vxencap' will "just work", but I'll be it will need to be tweaked.
