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??

Yesss... same size up to the Megabyte. The fbacked files on the vios are also same size.

It was the intention to experiment with this kind of mirroring for a test environment
which will result in about 20 LPARs with 2-3TB each, using V7R2. As the mirroring on IBM i
can be delayed, the resync might last - but it is not that important. I just was
curious if it works...

So in IBM i service tools there are two disks there and both report identical capacity??

This should work though if either of the two VIO servers go down then you will need to completely recopy the data to get the mirrors back in sync!
