Re: Mirroring question
Try this (and adjust sasd0 as needed):
# sasmgr get_info -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid
Hope this helps!

Re: Mirroring question
Run a lvlnboot -v and see what the output is. If you have a mirror it would look like this:
# lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0 (1/0/0/3/0.6.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c4t8d0 (1/0/4/1/0.8.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
/dev/dsk/c4t8d0
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
/dev/dsk/c4t8d0
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0
/dev/dsk/c4t8d0
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0,
If not.. it is obvious.
Also do a swlist and see it MirrorDisk/UX is even installed........

BTW, where did you take the

This server has NO hardware path

Different system?
Hope this helps!

Re: Mirroring question
Once the 2 disks are hardware (!) mirrored, they have a single special device file only - for this reason you cannot tell from lvlnboot command if they are mirrored or not.
Even in ioscan you won't see the disks any longer - just the RAID volume only.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
