Check the man page of lvcreate. This has the -m option which will allow you to create mirror copies. However, this will require MirrorDisk/UX software to be installed on your HP box.
You could contact your HP support to get MirrorDisk if you already do not have it.

- ARC-1680i PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
- ARC-1680x PCI Express 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
- ARC-1681 PCI-X 8 Port SAS RAID Controller
These controllers support RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6, and JBOD using either SAS or SATA II drives.
arcmsr supports management and monitoring of the controller through the bioctl(8) and envstat(8) commands.
Please note, however, that to use some features that require special privileges, such as creating/removing hot-spares, pass-through disks or
RAID volumes will require to have the password disabled in the firmware; otherwise a Permission denied error will be reported by bioctl(8).
When a RAID 1 or 1+0 volume is created, either through the bioctl(8) command or controller's firmware, the volume won't be accessible until
the initialization is done. A way to get access to the sd(4) device that corresponds to that volume without rebooting, is to issue the fol-
lowing command (once the initialization is finished):
$ scsictl scsibus0 scan any any
The arcmsr driver will also report to the kernel log buffer any error that might appear when handling firmware commands, such as used by the
bioctl(8) command.
EVENTS
The arcmsr driver is able to send events to powerd(8) if a volume or any drive connected to the volume is not online. The state-changed
event will be sent to the /etc/powerd/scripts/sensor_drive script when such condition happens.
