Re: DualVIOS - mirror

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well that seems like it should be good. I have done with two IBM i hosts 
but not with two VIO Hosts. Whenever I use VIO it is to get to SAN 
storage with NPIV, notsomuch for Internal storage!!

So you did the step to add the second disk to the partition correct? 
Then you attempt Start Mirroring and that's when it fails??
