Hi,

    hd5 is always in a closed state when the system is up and running.
The only time it should be open is when the system is booting.

To answer the second part of your question..if you have 1 LP for every 2
PP's (assuming you told it to make two copies and not three) as shown in
your lsvg -l output, which your output shows...your rootvg mirror succeded.

Now just don't forget to add the second PV to your normal boolist! :)
