Re: VXVM boot disk
So create ignite backup and as and when new disk is available plan this activity. This would be best and safe way of doing this.

Re: VXVM boot disk
You can use vxdiskadm to mirror the root disk.
You first choose option 1 to add the disk to the rootdg and then choose option 5 to mirror the volumes on the disk.
To do it through command line, try this.
1.) vxdisksetup -iB cxtydz (To initialise disk under Volume manager)
2.) vxdg -g rootdg adddisk rootdisk=cxtydz ( To add the disk to the Disk Group)
3.) vxrootmir -v -b -R cxtydz ( To create the mirror)
With cxtydz the mirror disk. I don't use it as system disk on HPUX, only on solaris so I hope it's enough to be able to boot on the mirror.
Hope this helps

Re: VXVM boot disk
Of course you can *duplicate* the disk, but the size of stand and root will be the same!
To increase it, you should use ignite, backup your data, adjust the values and restore.
Hope this helps!

Re: VXVM boot disk
There are lots of conditions if they met then it might be possible to increase, like if there is some space available between stand and swap then stand can be increased to that size.
Else the other way is to boot in lvm maintenance and then remove swap increase stand then recreate swap...
You told us that you have procedure of it doing with LVM, could you please share it with us.....( I have never seen such a doc).

This will tell you how to mirror a disk. To modify the filesystem size I attach a file.
