[Question] Mirroring LSM root drive

Managers,

I am setting up an Alpha 3000 on DU4.0B with LSM. I have taken an RZ26L
root disk with / and /usr plus a swap partition and encapsulated it with
the volencap utility. No problems.

Now I want to mirror that disk and have the mirror available as a
secondary root disk.

According to the 4.0b documentation on CD, I need to have a disk that is


- not used by LSM (not in LSM database at all or just no partitions
used??)
- at least as big as the root disk
- disklabel with fstypes of unused

I have done all of the above. I ran

(gwen):root# volrootmir -a rz14

  ERROR: disk rz1 is an RZ26L type device while
           disk rz14 is an RZ26N type device.
           Both disks must be of the same type.
 
The documentation is very clear. I should not have to have the SAME
type of disk - just one at least as big. Thinking that perhaps I had to
edit the disklabel to make partition sizes match, I edited the RZ26N
disklabel, and re-tried only to get the same results.

Do I really have to have another RZ26L, or is there a way around this
problem?

TIA

Susan
