I am trying to determine if any of the volumes on our servers running Veritas Volume Manager 3.1 are mirrored. What entries would you see in the output of vxprint -ht that would indicate that volumes are mirrored?

Veritas Mirrored Volumes?

In the vxprint -th output you will see different types of records, beginning with "v" for volume, "pl" for plex and "sd" for subdisk.
Just count the plex records associated with each volume... if there are more than one then the volume is mirrored. 'plex' is synonymous with 'mirror'.
Note however that in a more complex configuration there may be 'log' plexes and various other types. They do not contain a copy of the volume's data, but dirty region logs. There are other types too...
