Re: Mirror rootvg questions

it should be marked as closed since its the BLV. Its normal. You can tell your mirrored by noting in your 'lsvg -l rootvg' output the PPs are twice the LPs except for your sysdump device. I don't think you need to mirror that.

also you can look at the output of 'lsvg rootvg' and note the fields "STALE PPs:" and "STALE PVs:" If they are 0 (zero) then you are mirrored.

Hi folks,

My system: AIX 5.1 running on a 6H1.

I just mirrored the rootvg. There was no problem during the process. The
system came up okay after the reboot. My question is why the LV STATE on hd5
is different than others. Is this normal?
My other question is that I did not 'mklvcopy' on lg_dumplv. Do I need to?
Finally, how can I be sure the mirroring is working? Can I tell by this "lsvg -
l rootvg' command?

TIA

# lsvg -l rootvg
rootvg:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
hd5 boot 1 2 2 closed/syncd N/A
hd6 paging 32 64 2 open/syncd N/A
hd8 jfslog 1 2 2 open/syncd N/A
