different disk with the same content as the original. For this purpose everything "clone" is the wrong tool.
First, use "extendvg" to make the new disk part of the rootvg. Then "mirrorvg" to create copies of the LVs on the new disk. Wait, because this will take some time (depending on the load the system is under and the traffic on the rootvg some minutes to half an hour approximately).
Perform a "bosboot" to create a boot block on the new disk. Then shut down the system. Disconnect the newly created disk and boot again. Correct the errors because of the now missing disk. (Don't forget to correct the bootlist too.)
Start a new system with the cloned disk. You will have to correct the same errors because of the missing mirror disk on the new system. Note that you have an absolutely identical copy of the system - connect both to the same network and you get duplicate IP address errors.
I hope this helps.
