Re: mirroring root FS and primary swap
As long as you correctly created the mirror boot disk ('pvcreate -B', 'mkboot', etc.) and then mirrored your logical volumes in the correct order (as indicated in my earlier post) you do *not* need to start over. Reducing the mirrors and re-mirroring the disk was the correct approach.
I trust that you also specified a "low-quorum" when you did your 'mkboot':
mkboot ???a ???hpux ???lq???
If all of the above is true, then the acid test is to boot from the disk!

Re: mirroring root FS and primary swap
I did:
mkboot -a "hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0
Should I specify -iq ?

Re: mirroring root FS and primary swap
Again, it's not "iq" , it's "-lq". This for no quorum check. If you don't specify this, then when the root disk fails, for booting from the mirror root disk, you have to interrupt the boot process, then at
ISL > hpux -lq
If you specify -lq at the mkboot, then you don't need to do this. The system will automatically boot.

Re: mirroring root FS and primary swap
so the right syntax is:
mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0
Correct?

Re: mirroring root FS and primary swap
Yes you are correct. The right syntax for the boot string on mirror root disk is,
mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/cxtydz
Hope this helps.

Re: mirroring root FS and primary swap
You should issue the mkboot by itself first (to write the BOOTLIF area). Then issue mkboot -a to write the bot string. At least, that is how I learned the procedure way back in the dark ages.
