Error booting off of mirrored root drive

After mirroring the root drive, I tried to boot from it and am getting:

Did:
bo alt

Got:
ISL booting hpux-lq

Not an isl command or utility
Auto-execute file is inconsistent. Autoboot aborted.

ISL>


These are the steps I used to setup the mirror:
pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0
mkboot /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0
mkboot -a "hpux-lq" /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0
vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c0t8d0
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c0t8d0 (did this for lvol1 - lvol8 (all))
lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3 (Op sys is 10.20)
lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
lvlnboot -R
lvlnboot -v
setboot
setboot -a 8/12.8.0 (hw path for mirror drive)
shutdown -r now
interrupted boot and then did the 'bo alt'

Re: Error booting off of mirrored root drive

You need a space between hpux and -lq :

#mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?

You need to execute this for both disks in your mirror set.

Re: Error booting off of mirrored root drive

Your second mkboot command is incorrect. You didn't tell it where to boot from.

It should have been:

mkboot -a "hpux -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0

Make sure you have a space between hpux and -lq and also a space between -lq and (;0)

Make this correction and you should be good to go.
