How to setup hardware RAID on a T2000

Hello all

We've just bought a T2000. It has two disks and I'm trying to figure out how to create a mirror of the boot disk. I understand that I have to boot into single user mode from DVD and then use the raidctl command to set up the mirror and label the volume afterwards.

Format returns the following:

Searching for disks...done

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/sd@0,0
1. c0t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/sd@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number): ^D

If I run the raidctl command while in run level 3, I get the following output:

Controller: 0
Disk: 0.0.0
Disk: 0.1.0

Does this mean hardware RAID has already been set up?
