Operating Systems AIX Clone or mirror your AIX OS larger disk to smaller disk ? Post 302751921 by zxmaus on Saturday 5th of January 2013 12:55:59 AM

Hi,
you may not be able to do a mirrorvg but I cannot see what would prevent you from mirroring the lv's (except the backup lv) after adding the smaller disk to rootvg - and then simply do a new bosboot on both disks and create a new bootlist ?

You could as well take (for safety purposes) take a mksysb from rootvg and exclude the backup filesystem.

Regards
