mirroring boot disk

[dgizaw]

I upgraded R390 from 10.20 to 11i and when it comes back I tried to mirror the boot disk. I excuted #pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
it came back with error can not read. Then I tried again #pvcreate -fB /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
it came back with prompt but when I tried to do #vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
it came back with error cannot extend. Finally I called HP support and confirmed the disk was bad. My fquestion is, was I doing wrong? when I check the man page it says -B is not supported for 11i. If -B is not supported how can I proceed?

Thank you very much

The man page states that the -B option is not supported on 11i Version 1.5. You are not running 11i v1.5. You are running 11.11.

Hi Daniel,

It IS supported in 11iv1 (11.11)
It is NOT supported in 11v1.5 (11.20) that's an old Itanium only version.
You DO need to use -B - or you'll have to repeat the entire mirror sequence.

HTH,
Jeff
