BMR on Unix

Finally it looks ok now at least on Solaris. Managed to figure out how to restore a VxVM encapsulation mirrored disks to a single disk. Assuming we faced a difficult situation where both boot disk and mirrored disks are gone at the same time.
The key thing is not to automatically create all the mapping. Add the new disk to the rootdg diskgroup first. Then do the mapping from the original layout/volume to the new volume.
Restore ran successful and boot up on a single disk.
