If you set up the mirror correctly, it should boot.

When you set up the mirror you must make absolutely certain that BOTH disk have the boot string of "hpux -lq" so that the system will boot without a quorum (quorum = 1/2 of the disks in the mirror set + 1).

If you do not have the boot string set correctly then the system will fail to boot because a quorum of disks is not available.

This assumes that your vg00 consists of 2 disks.
