CuAt: name = "fslv07" attribute = "type" value = "jfs2" type = "R" generic = "DU" rep = "s" nls_index = 639

After verifying there are two disks in the boot list...

# bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk0
hdisk1

... verify and create a boot image on the second mirrored boot disk:

# bosboot -vd hdisk1 && bosboot -ad hdisk1

How to know on which disk the OS has booted (bootblock used and kernel loaded):

# bootinfo -b
hdisk0

How to know on which mode the OS has booted (kernel in 32-bit or 64-bit):

# bootinfo -K
64

If there is some problem booting on one disk, be sure that the corresponding raw device are the same device as ipldevice:

# bootinfo -b
hdisk0
#
# ls -ilF /dev/ipldevice /dev/rhdisk0

Assuming the following mounted file system:

# mount
  node       mounted        mounted over    vfs       date        options
