    ok, public & private region looks similar in both the disks...

    Can your vxprint see a swapvol now ?  & are you getting the same error after issuing the same command ?

    I would recommend to run vxmirror -g rootdg  (not vxassist mirror)..

    If the above mirror fails, I see one more issue:

    Notice the disk_offset values of two disks:

    public:    slice=3 offset=1 len=143267904 disk_offset=0
    private:   slice=4 offset=1 len=81407 disk_offset=143267904 <<<<<<<<<<<<<

    public:    slice=3 offset=0 len=143267904 disk_offset=81408
    private:   slice=4 offset=1 len=81407 disk_offset=0

    though public & private region lengths are same however disk offset is different, it would be good  if you keep them same... this would be little tricky to initialize disk like this because you don't have any switch called  "disk_offset" to define in "vxdisksetup" command .. If you want to make these parameters similar, you have to do following:

    -- Make sure which disk server is booted (prtconf -pv
     grep -i bootpath) lets assume it booted from rootdisk i.e c0t0d0

    -- you can remove all the mirrors from rootmirror disk (use vxplex dis)

    -- take rootmirror disk out of veritas (vxdg -g rootdg rmdisk) -- make sure you have deleted all the components from rootmirror disk. Take extra precaution before deleting, make sure there is no volume which is mounted from rootmirror disk

    -- Reinitialize rootmirror again with following options:

    # vxdisksetup -i c0t1d0  privlen=81407  privoffset=143267904  publen=143267904  puboffset=0  format=sliced pubslice=4 privslice=3

    above command should make disk struncture of root mirror similar to rootdisk.. the trick here is disk_offset values are provided with "privoffset & puboffset" values delibaretely.

    another point though it may not be relevant here, you are running base version of 5.0 which had lot many of bugs & were fixed later ... check out SORT website for latest patch matrix..

    Hi Kuldeep,

    initially when you encapsulated the disk, did you had a swap entry in your vfstab file ? as you can see there is no swapvol created in your vxprint output..

    secondly, can you paste

    # modinfo |grep -i vx

    # vxdisk list c0t0d0s2

    # vxdisk list c0t1d0s2

    # df -k

    # swap -l

     

    I would like to know if the private region size & public region size are same on the two disks..
