Thanks very much. == From: Michael Miller works fine for me. == From: Daniel Lorenzini I am using Disksuite on Solaris 8 intel boxes with good results. The machines are dual-CPU Compaq 1850R's and DL380's. I am doing root and swap mirroring, both 2-way and 3-way, and data disk mirroring with hot spares. These are all SCSI devices, including system drives. I believe there are issues with mirroring IDE drives, so I would not recommend doing that. I am using UFS logging, as opposed to ODS logging with tran metadevices, also with good results. == From: Timothy Lorenc Works great! I have been using it since Solaris 7 when it was only included in the Solaris Easy Access Server v2.0 additional software... Granted, I have only used it then SCSI HDDs (my personal opinion is that IDE sucks... I have had too many of them die on me, probably at a rate of 8 bad IDE HDDs for every SCSI HDD failure...) It is a cheap solution for disk mirroring... but now I have been replacing DiskSuite with hardware solutions... primarily AMI MegaRAID... but I am evaluating other newer and better controllers...Received on Mon May 14 14:38:00 2001
