Mirroring volumes creates one or more copies of your volumes on another disk. By creating mirror copies of your volumes, you protect your volumes against loss of data if a disk fails.
You can use this task on your root disk to make a second copy of the boot information available on an alternate disk. This lets you boot your system even if your root disk fails.
Note: |
This task only mirrors concatenated volumes. Volumes that are already mirrored or that contain subdisks that reside on multiple disks are ignored |
To mirror volumes on a disk
Enter disk name [<disk>,list,q,?] mydg02
Enter destination disk [<disk>,list,q,?] (default: any) mydg01
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
The vxdiskadm program displays the status of the mirroring operation, as follows:
