two mirror copies in the same command

[Bill Hassell]

If you do not have data on the original LUN, there is a very fast method for mirroring. Create the LUN without a size (it will show as size 0). Then extend the LUN for 1 or 2 mirrors. This will complete instantly because the data on the primary is 0 length. Now extend the LUN to the desired size. The volume will now mirror the data as it is restored to the LUN -- no separate mirroring step.
