homeyjoe, thank you for the post.

Just wondering why you have changed the logical volume type to copy ?

2. changed new lv to be type 'copy'

I didn't do this step, but would like to know the reason behind changing the type. When I created a logical volume and tried to copy it ( as i mentioned in the previous post ) i got an error and the message was :: Change the type of the logical volume with chlv command ...
At that time, i didn't understand why it needs to be changed and into what ...

So, I skipped, and I let the system create the logical volume and copy....So, when I chose the second option, I am not sure if AIX will automatically change the logical volume type to copy ?

Also, after successful mounting do i need to change the type to something else in-order to make the logical volume into write mode ?
