Hi jlliagre,

Thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply. With regards to the above quote, do you mean that

If I have a brand new server with 2 raw disks, and i wish to setup a raid-1 mirror using SVM, I can only either

a) format the disk, setup the filesystem(s), OS etc on 1 disk 1st, then mirror the disk over to the 2nd disk

or

b) setup disk mirroring during OS installation ? (is there a option for doing that during the installation ) ?

Is that what you meant ? Sorry my english is not very good.

Regards,
Noob
