zfs mirror disk

Is it possible to create a Mirror with zfs ??
I'm experimented user with Solstice Disk suite.
Or Sun Volume manager or veritas volume manager.
But, i would like switch from Disksuite to Zfs.
All my mirrored disks.

You can create a mirrored zfs setup, however, there is something to note. It is disk for disk mirroring at the zpool level so you create mirrored storage, not mirrored filesystems, and it is not possible to detach one complete mirror as the zpool mirroring forces a RAID 0+1 configuration.

For example:

Code:
zpool create mypool mirror c0t0d0 c0t1d0 mirror c1t0d0 c1t1d0

would create a zpool called mypool where c0t0d0 mirrors c0t1d0 and c1t0d0 mirrors c1t1d0

You would then use :
Code:
zfs create mypool/application

to create a zfs filesystem on the mirrored pool and
Code:
zfs set mountpoint=/applications mypool/application

To set the mountpoint of the filesystem to /applications.
