Disk Mirroring on E800 Server

[Brian Edwards]

I would like to mirror to Scsi Hard disk on a E800 Server.
However when I highlight the two drives in Disk Administrator and click on "Establish Mirror"
this function is greyed out.
Any advise on this one?

From disk administrator, select the FORMATED PARTION you wish to mirror. Hold control and select the FREE SPACE on the other disk. Then go to establish the mirror. Commit changes and NT begins mirroring. Should work...

Chris ,

when I follow your instructions,the area where it says "establish mirror" remains greyed out.
Infact all areas under Fault Tolerance are greyed out.

Any further advise?

Hi
Is the operating system Windows 2000?
If so, mirroring disks is only possible on dynamic disks, and not basic disks.
Hope this helps

I'm using NT Server 4.0.
The disks to be mirrored are two 36.4GB HP Scsi Drives.

No, I can't think of anything else except this link that describes the same issue.

Did you try posting this on the NT forum too?
