Use the idisk(1M) command to partition the disk according to this file:
# idisk -wf /tmp/partitionfile /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0
idisk version: 1.2
********************** WARNING ***********************
If you continue you may destroy all data on this disk.
Do you wish to continue(yes/no)? yes
...
Create the new device files for the new partitions (c2t1d0s1 and c2t1d0s2)
# insf -e -C disk
Use mkboot(1M) to format the EFI partition (s1), populate it with the EFI files under /usr/lib/efi/, format the LIF volume (part of s2), and populate it with the LIF files (ISL, AUTO, HPUX, LABEL) under /usr/lib/uxbootlf:
# mkboot -e -l /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0
# efi_ls -d /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s1 (to check EFI)

total space 103215616 bytes, free space 100076032 bytes
# lifls -l /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2 (to check LIF)
Write the contents of the AUTO file to the EFI partition:
# mkboot -a "boot vmunix" /dev/dsk/c2t1d0
# efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s1 -u /EFI/HPUX/AUTO /tmp/x; cat /tmp/x (to check it)
NOTE: Specify -a "boot vmunix -lq" if you want the system to boot up without interruption in case of a disk failure.
Initialize the LVM partition (s2) and add it to vg00:
# pvcreate [-f] -B /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0s2 (take care to use s2)
# vgextend vg00 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
II. Mirror the LVs to the s2 partition
# for i in lvol1 lvol ... lvol8
> do lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/$i /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
> done
Write the contents of the LABEL file, i.e. set root, boot, swap and dump device:
# lvlnboot -r /dev/vg00/lvol3
# lvlnboot -b /dev/vg00/lvol1
# lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
# lvlnboot -v</b> (to check it)

Specify the mirrored disk as an alternate bootpath:
# setboot -a
# setboot (to check it)
