adding disk to ultra10

I enquired before about adding another disk to an ultra 10...
and was told it was possible...

Well - since then I got my hands on another ultra 10 - and have taken the disk out of that one...

I should be able to connect it up - but I am wondering - should this be mounted in any partiulcar way in the ultra 10?

Any advice on this?
Or tips in which to setup and then use the extra disk?

I was thinking of maybe mirroring in some way the other disk - in case of a failure on my current disk...

Any tips - advice - previous experiences etc are appreciated...

You can mirror the disk, but with them both on the same IDE channel performance is bad.

What isze disk are you installing? Plan to upgrade OBP if it is over 40GB, and be sure to use Solaris 9 (or 10).

I am installing 10 on my ultra 10 right now. It sure is a lot slower than at the office installing from a jumpstart server.
