You have to remove the disk from the VG. Then run a pvcreate -B to make
the disk bootable, run mkboot, and then add it back to the VG and
remirror. HP's site has the page

Subject: [HPADM] Creating a boot disk in 11i
New to the group.
I have searched the archives, and have not found exactly what I was
looking for.
I have an HP-UX 11i box with two disks in it. The first disk came pre
installed with OS, utilities, licenses, etc. loaded on it. I have the
Mirror UX software/license installed. I want to use LVM to use the
second disk as a mirror cpoy. There was already a PV created for the
second disk. I have added it to the only volume group (vg00), and have
used SAM to add 1 mirror copy of each logical volume. lvdisplay looks
like the data is being mirrored. I then realized I needed to make the
disk bootable, and write the boot sectors to it. I did a mkboot on the
second disk. I tested it, by bringing the system down, and swapping
disks, but it says it's not bootable. Since the PV was created at the
factory, how can I tell if it has the boot sectors written? Do I need
to reduce the second disk out of the VG, and blow it away, and then
re-label it using "pvcreate -B", and then add it back to the VG?
In short, how do I make a two disk bootable mirrorset?
TIA,
Rich
