Re: Need to have 2 boot disks on different version.
Now install 11.23 on c0t6d0. If all is OK, insert c0t5d0 again and mirror your drives.
You do NOT want to lvreduce c0t5d0 out of the mirror as that will wipe out your LVs and render the disk useless for your purposes.

Re: Need to have 2 boot disks on different version.
One QQ by just making lvsplit the vols and separating the vgoo. can't we install the OS on disk one and if every thing is good we can mirror it later ? Instead of bringing the second hard disk down.
since "vgsplit" is only available for HP-UX 11iv3 (11.31), isn't it.
thanks
Ravi

Re: Need to have 2 boot disks on different version.
If you truly want to make sure all your 11.11 data, or whatever OS version on an old disk, is safe, then the best way is to buy a couple of new disks and use those for the new operating system (assuming you aren't actually upgrading via update-ux). Then, if you need to go back to the old version, you can just pop the new disks out, put the old ones in, and boot.

Re: Need to have 2 boot disks on different version.
I think we can still be able to bring up the b vols from by going on to the init mode and changing the lvs and booting up with the second disk? I remember doing this scenario while i was doing hp patching. (i don't remember the procedure now).
Will this work?
Also,
there are various other ways to backup the OS.
1. Ignite backup
2. You method of splitting it an pulling the drive.
thanks

Re: Need to have 2 boot disks on different version.
Yes, an Ignite/UX backup is certainly a viable option as well.
