i am going to redo my boot volume. no data to save.
steps: create new volume /vol/vol1 vol create /vol/vol1 2
export /vol/vol1
copy /etc from vol0 to vol1
make vol1 the root volume vol options /vol/vo11 root
reboot
if vol1 shows as the root volume then vol offline /vol/vol0 reboot vol destroy /vol/vol0
rename back to default root vol name vol rename /vol/vol1 /vol/vol0
add some disks back to the new vol0 vol add /vol/vol0 3
am i missing anything?
thanks.

You might want to consider the extent to which you are losing logging data (/etc/messages*, /etc/log/*, ...) between the copy and /vol/vol1 becoming the effective root.

if i copy /etc would the log files go with it? i was going to copy all of /etc including the sub dirs. i assumed i needed everything...
dir /ad /b
