Mirror volumes on a different disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
Cause
Vxdisksetup in version 5.1SP1 does an additional check for possible UFS filesystems.
Resolution
There is an undocumented "-r" option in vxdisksetup that allows the disk to be initialized if a UFS file system is present on it. To initialize the rootmirror, add it to rootdg and mirror the rootdisk to rootmirror, run the following commands:
# vxdisksetup -ir disk_0 format=sliced noreserve
# vxdg -g rootdg adddisk mirrordisk=disk_0
# vxmirror -g rootdg rootdisk mirrordisk
or
vxdiskadm option 6 (Mirror volumes on a disk)
