Mirror 2 Drives

Leon Janse van Rensburg — Fri, 13 May 2005 10:09:36 GMT

Hi. I just bought a HP Proliant ML110 G2 Server. I bought an extra harddrive as well. I have received my server, buth the extra drive is still in customs. I want to set up a mirror between the 2 drives. I have already installed all the software on the server now. Will I be able to set up Drive Mirror when I get the second drive, or will I have to re-install everything? And how do I do it? Thank you

it's SCSI or SATA ?
you use ARRAY Controller ?

SCSI. I am not sure if the HP Proliant 110 G2 has a raid controller by default. I don't think so. I didn't add one, so I guess not...

The ML110 comes in either SATA or SCSI configuration (you say that yours is SCSI). You will need the purchase the appropriate array controler, fit it and then reinstall the OS from bare metal. The down side to these servers is that the HDDs are not hot pluggable.
