AIX alt_disk_copy command should detect a rootvg with two boot logical volumes.

When the AIX alt_disk_copy command is run against a rootvg containing multiple logical volumes of type 'boot', the new copy of the rootvg is unbootable. The alt_disk_copy command could easily detect this error and fail with an error message.

I'm will aware that having multiple boot logical volumes is an error. But it would be good to discover the error before an unbootable rootvg is created.

I'm sure the code isn't quite this simple, but it isn't much more complex:

if [[ $(lsvg -l rootvg|awk 'NR>2&&$2=="boot"'|wc -l) -gt 1 ]]
then echo "Invalid rootvg: multiple boot LVs";exit
fi
