Mirroring a Disk

The Mirror Disk procedure mirrors (copies) all concatenated and striped volumes on a disk onto another disk. You can use this procedure to mirror any disk that contains concatenated or striped volumes.

Procedure 3-5 To mirror all volumes on a disk

Select the disk that contains the volumes to be mirrored onto another disk.
Choose Actions > Mirror Disk.
Enter the target disk name in the Mirror Disk. Click OK.




	NOTE: The Disk Mirror task requires a disk name. Only concatenated and striped volumes that reside on a single disk are mirrored onto the other disk. Any RAID-5 or spanned volumes on the disk are ignored. Only disks in the same dynamic disk group can be used to create the new mirrors. The target disk must contain sufficient space to accommodate the mirrors. A new mirror cannot be created on a disk that already contains a copy of the volume. If no disks are assigned, VxVM uses available disk space to create the mirrors.
