Oups again ... grrrrr !

It should be c0t1d0s1 : partition 1 where EFI is. s2 is partition 2 for HP-UX

Sorry ;-(

I dont see any c0t1d0s1
Primary disk is /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2
Secondary disk is /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s2

When i wrote my "Oups again" i had not seen your latest answer. So "c0t1d0s1" is just for example, has you did when you have described your procedure.

So, for efi_cp, you should use /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s1 and /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0s1

Anyway, I don't think you will have any problem to boot even if efi_cp did not work. The "mkboot -e" command has populated your EFI partition with utilities (/usr/lib/efi) and a default AUTO file whose content is "boot vmunix". I suggested "efi_cp" only because i am used to modify this with "-lq" option when vg00 is mirrored.

Note : the "-lq" option is not mandatory. I think that pro/cons should be about 50%/50% :-) The main reason to use or not "-lq" is :

pro : my system is very critical, i want it to boot even if one of my system disks is unavailable.

cons : i absolutly want to know that one of my system disks is dammaged even if can't boot my system though i have mirroing configured.

Almost a philosophical question ;-)
