Both disk are mirred with veritas VM4.
Fisrt disk is encapsulate and other disk is mirred.System is working Fine but when I removed Fitrst Disk and reboot the system it does not boot from the mirror disk. When I shifted this mirror disk to first Disk slot system work.

have you set the opb variable "boot-device" to your disks?
in obp: setenv boot-device disk0 disk1
in OS: eeprom boot-device=disk0\ disk1
(if disk1 is your second)
you can use any name for the disks, have a look to devalias and nvalias in your obp manual

hmmm... can you boot from the first disk in the second slot? perhabs your fc-backplane is damaged...

have you ever had a look if the second disk is really the nvalias you set in your boot-device variable?

Here is something else to check: If the box is in diagnostic mode, boot-device is ignored and the box will boot from the value stored in diag-device instead. The variable diagnostic-mode? controls whether or not you are in diagnostic mode.
