Unless your machine dumps an awful lot, and your in threat of loosing a
critical core dump, I would stop mirroring your dump device. You are just
wasting space there. A separate dump space just sits idle until you dump.
Once you remove the paging mirror, the logical volume copy will be deleted, but
it will free the space. You can create another paging device on the volume
and activate it, giving you your secondary. However, in doing this, you are
removing your fault protection, so you will need to make the decision based on
why you were mirroring the paging space in the first place.

The dump device and the paging space are not the same on the same logical volume.I want to know if I can remove the paging space from the mirrored disk and use it as a secondary paging space..?
