Nelson,

What have you done so far? Have you installed the disk and can you see it from the os? Do you have Mirror-UX installed on your system, this is an add on product with it's own license?

Hi Rick,

I have not done anything yet. I just have the disk with me on the box and i need to install it because now the machine is running just with one HDD. I need to know how can i do it before stop the machine and start doing things there.

The server is running a dataprotector configured with a tape library.

regards
