Hi,

Thanks for everyone???s reply so far, would really appreciate help and advise on the completing the task, as we did use ignite to make a recovery tape. But now that we have got the mirror disk license, we would like to get the boot/root disk and 3 other disks mirrorred.
After installing the mirror disk license, can we make the 2nd disk a mirror root/boot disk. If yes what would the commands and procedure be, taking into account that our original boot disk is /dev/dsk/c1t6/d0, and the spare second disk is /dev/dsk/c2t6/d0. Secondly would the procedure be the same for the non boot disks for mirroring, or would it be slightly differenet. If different would appreciate advise and instructions on that as well. The other 6 disks we would


/dev/dsk/c7t0d0
/dev/dsk/c7t1d0
/dev/dsk/c7t2d0

/dev/dsk/c8t0d0
/dev/dsk/c8t1d0
/dev/dsk/c8t2d0


Regards

The procedure in the link will not create a mirror but it does create an alternate boot disk. I use this and it work great.
