Simon,
I must be missing the point because I'm sure I've done this before, i.e.,
swap out hdisk0 or hdisk1 and mirrorvg without rebooting.
If you're already setup and have mirrored hdisk0 and hdisk1, and you have a
failure in hdisk1, you should be able to swap and remirror, since hdisk1 is
already marked bootable.
What am I missing? The original post mentioned the above scenario didn't it?
I could see the problem if you added and new disk and it created a new hdisk
that wasn't there at previous boot.

Couldn't you still re-mirror rootvg? You just wouldn't be able to make the
replacement disk bootable at first. That would still give you some
protection until a re-boot could be arranged.
Not an ideal situation, however, and one I would hope IBM will address in
the near future, since they claim to be placing so much importance on
availability.
