Hi Srinu,

the message

"m": Illegal option.

indicates that the mirror/ux product is not installed.

Hi,

Do you have the MirrorDisk/UX installed ?
/usr/sbin/swlist -R | grep -i mirror
You need MirrorDisk/UX in order to be able to mirror your lvols.

Ninad

Hi,

Are you getting the same output of swlist command.

#/usr/sbin/swlist | grep -i mirror
B2491BA B.11.23 MirrorDisk/UX (Server)

If not then you don't have the MirrorDisk software.
