error creating a mirror for lv on 11.23 (PARISK)

[Alexander Bakhmutsky]

I'm trying to mirror logical volumes of my boot c1t6d0 disk onto c2t6d0. New disk is already a part of vg00. When I execute "lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/c2t6d0", I get an ""m": Illegal option." error. I'm running HPUX 11.23 on N4000 (PA-RISK).

Any ideas?

Must have MirrorDisk/UX installed on the server to use the -m option

You need to have mirrordis/ux software isntalled. Also mirroring procedure is bit different for itaniums.

# swlist -l product | grep Mirror

Hi Alex,

The lvextend -m option is enabled after installing MirrorDisk Ux product. You need to install this product

Hi,

Yes it is sure that you do not have this program installed. Even if you purchased the product it need to be installed.

Hi Alexander

You need to have MirrorDisk/UX for option m to work in lvextend. It is a licensed product, thus you have to buy it
