lvextend -m 1 failing

[Venkat_11]

When i am trying to mirror the root disk by using the following commands i am getting the following errors.

# lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol3 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0
Usage: lvextend
[-A Autobackup]
{-l LogicalExtentsNumber |
-L LogicalVolumeSize}
LogicalVolumePath [ PhysicalVolumePath... | PhysicalVolumeGroupName... ]
"m": Illegal option.
Can any body advice me why its ending like this.
Thanks

Hi Venkat:

I suspect that you do not have a MirrorDisk/UX licence. Check with:

# swlist -l fileset|grep -i mirror

It sounds like you don't have the MirrorDisk/UX product installed. Check with "swlist -l product |grep -i mirror". You should see something like:
# swlist -l fileset |grep -i mirror
LVM.LVM-MIRROR-RUN B.11.11 LVM-MIRROR-RUN

Are you sure you have mirrordisk-UX software? Please, check from

swlist -l fileset |grep -i mirror

to confirm if this is in your system.

If it is then, what o/s are we talking about so that we could have a better discussion.

Venkat,

You need to have the Mirror Disk UX product installed on your system. You need to purchase this product.

I am sure that Mirror Disk UX product is not installed on your system.
You need to purchase this product then install it on your server

Yes, installing MirrorDisk causes a reboot.
