Do you have mirrororing software installed??

swlist | grep -i mirror

Two Problems:

/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2 --> LVM is only intended to work with whole disks not disk slices (that would have to have been created on an earlier OS version)

-m is only available if you have purchased and installed the MirrorUX product.

Hi,

Looks like you do not have mirrorux installed on the system. Do a swlist to verify,

swlist |grep -i mirror

If this lists
B2491BA B.11.00 MirrorDisk/UX

It means you have mirrorus installed and the problem is something else. Else you need mirrorux installed on the server for -m option to work.

Hope this helps.

Clay,

I expect he is working on an Itanium server where:

lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2

Is perfectly valid, as LVM doesn't manage the EFI partitions...

As others have mentioned, sounds like you don't have MirrorDisk/UX installed.

HTH
