Aix - Procedure to mirror the rootvg

Procedure to mirror the rootvg:

  1. lspv –> determine the hdisk#
  2. extendvg rootvg hdisk<number> –> add the hdisk to the volume group
  3. lspv –>  verify that the hdisk has been successfully added to the volume group
  4. chvg -Q ‘n’ rootvg –>  change the quorum so that the vg will stay active if one of the mirrors fail
  5. mirrorvg -S -c 2 rootvg –> mirror all of the logical volumes in the volume group
  6. lsvg -l rootvg –> verify successful mirroring (pps will appear “stale” until synchronization is complete).
  7. bosboot -a –>  update the boot image information
  8. bootlist -m normal -o hdisk0 hdisk1 –> create a new bootlist
  9. bootlist -m normal -o –> verify the bootlist is correct
