Mirroring SYS

[Anonymous_User]

Howdy,

Want to mirror the SYS: volume.

NW 6.5 sp5
Current sys vol is in two segments (not sure how that happened) on a
single disk.
new disk has more free space.

what steps to follow?

TIA!

Load nssmu. Find the partition SYS is on. Hit F3. Point it to the new
disk space. You're done.

Thanks, Andrew!

When I look in NSSMU at partitions I see there are two partitions for
SYS:

NSS - P:0x12 (57.59GB)
NSS - P:0xF ( 9.76GB)

New drive has 68.36 GB free space.

If I select either of the existing SYS partitions to mirror will it
automatically mirror both or just the partition I selected?

If it doesn't mirror both automatically, will it leave enough space on
the new drive to mirror the second partition?

TIA!!

Just the one you select -- mirroring is a partition operation, but SYS is
a pool construct.

I come up with 67.35, so it will be close, but should work. All the
"overhead" is already accounted for in the numbers you posted. There's no
hotfix calculation in NW65.

Thanks, Dave.

We'll give it a shot and post the results.
