Re: Mirror Disk With Different Size Disks
If you have a doubt about that then post or attach the output of 'vgdisplay -v vg00' and we'll let you know for sure.

Re: Mirror Disk With Different Size Disks
Now, you should whack yourself with a baseball bat because there is never a need for vg00 to be larger than 34GiB so you could have already had a mirrored vg00 using the 2 34GiB disks. vg00 should be for the OS and nothing else.

Re: Mirror Disk With Different Size Disks
Yes, this is possible. LVM mirroring is implemented at the logical volume level, so the different disk sizes mean nothing in this case.
The most important thing to remember is to mirror your logical volumes in the order 'lvol1, lvol2, lvol3...' to match '/stand', primary swap and '/' (root) respectively.
Regards!

Re: Mirror Disk With Different Size Disks
You can mirror root and /stand which are essential to booting.
Because of the size differential, if the second disk is smaller, you can't mirror everything in vg00.
