Re: DASD - Raid / Mirror Config.

If there is software and data on the box, BACK IT UP FIRST!

Mirroring is configured by ASP. All disks in set. To do this, you must
remove the disks that you don't want mirrored from the ASP, mirror the
asp, then re-add the disks and set the raid protection on them.

In this situation, you will either be working with an empty box to start
with, or you will empty it in the process of removing the additional
disks from the system ASP.
