CentreVu CMS Release 3 Version 8 Disk-Mirrored Systems
Mirror layouts on a factory-installed mirrored system differ depending
1
upon the platform. When a system is upgraded to mirroring in the field,
mirror layouts are essentially unpredictable, and depend on how many
disk drives are already installed, and what their target numbers are.
On a Sun Enterprise 3000 platform with factory-installed mirroring, the
mirror layout is the simple odd/even arrangement shown in the table
below. A system upgraded to mirroring in the field probably has a
1
different mirror layout.
