Looks like you are missing MirrorDisk

Mirrored disk operations require the installation of the optional HP MirrorDisk/UX software, which is not included in the standard HP-UX operating system.

Hi,

You can also see that it doesn't like the -m option. That's why is tells you the usage. The last line even tells you, you used an illegal option.

I'd not expected to not even know the -m option if you don't have mirrordisk installed, but the truth is very hard.

#swlist |grep -i mirrordisk

should not return anything.
You need that software for mirroring

#swlist |grep -i mirrordisk

should not return anything (in your case) which means the software is not installed
You need that software for mirroring
