Check that the hardware can boot off the device via "bootinfo -B hdisk0" and
"bootinfo -B hdisk3".
Bootinfo -B returns 1 for disks that are bootable and 0 if not.
Before mirrorvg will work, bootinfo -B must return 1. (mirrorvg calls
bootinfo)
>From the manpage:
-B Disk Displays a 1 if the IPL code in the ROS on the machine running the
command is capable of booting from the specified disk. Otherwise, the
command
displays a 0.
You proably have to sort out your filesets and hardware mircorode levels.

Subject: [aix-l] Can't create optional boot device after upgrade
Hello,
I have a situation that I need solved. I have talked to Prophet 21 and
their expert is stumped by it.
RS6000 7025-F40
AIX 4.3.3 was 4.2.1
FC 6025 PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter
6 Drives
Last week I tried an upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 ML 08
1st Step Migration to 4.3.1 failed with auto script due to this
driver. devices.pci.00101010 I think. I went ahead and tried to
install it manually. It seemed to go fine.
2nd Step Update 4.3.x to 4.3.3 failed also due to the following drivers
bos.loc.utf.ZH_CN
devices.pci.00100c00.rte
(The first one I had instructions in case it failed to install it
manually so I did those. The 2nd one I modified the first instruction to
the name and it looked like it worked fine. I got the ok afterwards on
both)
3rd Step Maintenece Level 08 failed on the following drivers
devices.isa.sio_baud.rte 4.3.2.1 : 4.3.0.0 -- AIX 4330-08 Update
devices.pci.00100b00.diag: 4.3.3.25 : 4.2.1.0 -- AIX 4330-08 Update
devices.pci.00100c00.diag :
(As above I applied the drivers manually and seemed to work.)
Our Hard drives are mirrored. Disk0 is primary system drive. Disk3 is
the mirror copy of the system drive.
I tried to mirror the rootvg Disk3 back to the Disk0 and it failed.
