Provide examples- 4 disks (3 way mirroring)
Hi, need some guidance, maybe I don't understand the term 3 or 4 way mirror.
I have 4 disks. All of same capacity. Need to 3-way mirror the disks for the OS using SVM

it's the same as a one way mirror... just add another submirror (slice) to the mirror. but more disks slow writing to the disk down! you have to write to 4 disks and also update the metadbs on all disks...

maybe you can confess the client to use the 2 way mirror and have a cold standby disk which get updatet by script... or a zpool with a stanby disk...
