MIRROR UX for RAW DEVICES

[Julio Porras_1]

Can I use mirror disk UX for mirroring informix raw devices ?

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Hi,

Sorry no, mirroring is done on lvm level not on disk level.

Yes of course. The mirroring done is done at the logical volume level. Don't forget that the software is not free and must be paid for.

Please discard my previous answer...

Michael is right and I need some coffee to wake up :-)

Hi,
yes, as previouslymentioned, you can use it.

But informix has buil in function for mirroring the critical device, like the ROOTDBS.

This raw device should not be double mirrored, but let informix do the mirroring.

You may check if this ability is also offered for the other dbs.

HTH,
Massimo
