Looking for a little help mirroring a data vg

I have a total of 4 disks.
I want to create a vg with two of the disks and use the other 2 for
the mirror.

there is no mirroring of disks (== physical volume) in AIX' volume manager. You can mirror the hardware by the means of a hardware RAID controller.

In AIX you add the free physical volumes into the data vg and then add a copy to each logical volume onto the free physical volume.

The command "mirrorvg" does the adding of copies of the logical volumes with one command.

The command "extendvg" adds a free physical volume into an existing volume group
