You don't say which version of HP-UX you are using. But the output from your "what" does not match what I have on either 10.20 or 11.00.

On 10.20 I get:
$Revision 78.57.1.3.2.44 $ MIRROR PRODUCT

I would guess that you do not have that latest lvm patch for your os. Try to install that and see if it helps.

sorry the hpux version is 10.20

If you install LVM-Mirror from the application-CD, you'll have a buggy version. That's why you need to re-install the re-install the latest LVM cumul patch + dependencies.

I believe that the latest LVM-patch is PHCO_18563. This will bring the Revision of the MIRROR PRODUCT to 78.57.1.3.2.70.

Don't forget to vgscan after moving the /etc/lvmtab to re-read the VGRA on the disks and creat the new /etc/lvmtab
