    Hi everyone,

    I have four disk & rootvg is span across two disks (Note: not mirrored.
    hdisk0 rootvg
    hdisk1 rootvg
    hdisk2 none
    hdisk3 none

    I have two questions

    1) How can I clone my rootvg to other available disks. I wander if can use "alt_disk_install
    -C hdisk2 hdisk3" command?
    2) if rootvg is span across two disk, how to recreate blv? (eg: bosboot -ad
    /dev/hdisk0).

    Thank you

    Ofcourse you can clone them across the remaining two disks. You can list the target disk names at the end of the alt_disk_install command.

    The BLV will be present only on one disk since there is no mirroring. You need not run the bosboot. alt_disk_install takes care of this for you.
