5706.0. "Mirror and 2940" by BAGELS::OBRIEN () Mon Feb 17 1997 10:19

Hi All,
	I have a NT4.0 server with SP2 installed. I am trying to mirror the
system disk. The controler is a 2940w so I need to use NT software mirror.
I go into the Disk Administrator select the boot partition (NTFS) then
hold down ctrl and select the partition to be the mirror. Now I need to
select Establish Mirror under Fault Tolerance but it is grayed out

Both the partitions are same size and on differnet drives. What am I missing
or will this just not work on a 2940 ????

thanks

Mike

    Mike,
    
    If there's nothing important on the second drive, be sure to remove the
    partition that is on it and let the changes take effect in disk
    manager.  Then do the fault tolerance bit.  I think NT disk manager
    wants to create the mirror partition for you.
    
    Regards,
