    Hi all,
    Getting ready to mirror the root disk and these are the steps that I
    have gathered to be able to boot off of both disks afterwards. Any
    input on this process, as it looks fairly straightforward to me. TIA
     
    # strings /etc/lvmtab
    /dev/vg00
    /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
     
    # ioscan -funC disk
    /dev/dsk/c3t6d0
     
    pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c3t6d0
    vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c3t6d0
    mkboot /dev/rdsk/c3t6d0
    mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c3t6d0
    mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0
    lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c3t6d0
    ... extend all
    setboot -a h/w path
