Hi,

 

That should not be a problem. The vxrootmir commands runs installboot after it creates a root mirror.

 

You might want to paste more details of the errors you're getting.

Hi,

Please provide the errors generated while trying to boot with the root disk/root mirror. 

Any idea whether it is booted with root disk/mirror prior to failure ?

Running installboot won't create any problem. But try to do it only on the second disk.
