You're better off with OS-level mirroring in AIX anyway; it's stable and fast. However, I still don't see the reason to mirror the diskpool volumes. First, it eats into disk I/O performance. Second, in most environments, backups to disk happen overnight, and diskpool to offsite pool backup and diskpool to primary pool migration both happen first thing in the morning. This arrangement allows for a very small window of vulnerability, and keeps you from eating a big chunk of disk for the mirror. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
