    As Riaan says, try using vxassist, although command is not quite correct - should be:

    vxassist -g lic1dg mirror vol01

     

    The issue could be that your disk is called "diskname" and since vxdiskadm is just a frontend shell script which calls underlying vx commands, it could be that "diskname" confuses it and it would be a good idea to rename anyway and I would personally rename both disks and you should rename subdisks also to avoid confusion and this can all be done online:

    vxedit -g lic1dg rename lic1dg01 lic1dg02
vxedit -g lic1dg rename diskname lic1dg01
vxedit -g lic1dg rename diskname-01 lic1dg01-01
