Newbie Help!
Virgin poster here looking for some insite. I have read a lot of the forum postings here regarding mirroring but I am not sure if/how they apply to me. Having said that...Here is my setup:
From factory: Integrity rx3600 running HP-UX v2 with 4 SAS drives, 2 in a RAID 1 mirror and 2 standalones. The root vg is on one of the standalones (why I don't know).
I have since upgraded to v3 and installed 4 additional drives for a total of 8.
Question 1: How do I "move" the vg00 onto the RAID 1 mirror set? I thought about mirroring that disk to another disk but I can't figure out how to talk to the RAID controller to do it!
Question 2: This machine is going to be running Oracle...how should I best allocate the remaining 6 drives. I am inclined to create a second vg with 3 pvs and mirror that accross the other 3 through software but...that's debateable!
What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance for you replys.
Alan

Re: Newbie Help!
I have yet to see the SAS drives in the newer servers with the built in RAID controller as a configuration ( I am assuming this as it is not a typical configuration, maybe it is new )so I am sure there are some more options as well.
Safest:
Create ignite image and reinstall OS to new mirrored disks.
Do-able:
Even if you can control the raid controller and mirror the existing drives to new ones, I would then assume you would want to remove the old ones. You will then need to update the boot handler to boot off the new HW address
New:
Dynamic Root Disk in 11iv3 may be of interest. I have yet to look into this yet.
