    I've read the manual on virtual disk manager but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I would like to know if it's possible to mirror two SCSI hard drives (18 GB each and on the same controller) on a SCO 5.05a OpenServer using virtual disk manager. The first disk (0s1) has the /, /stand and /u filesystems on it, the second disk (1s1) is empty. I know that it's possible to mirror the root, boot and swap, but then I don't have the option to do /u (where the database will reside).

    Is this something that is possible?

    Go to the Xinuos.com and find the support knowledgebase. Search for TA #105185. There are several tutorials on this site about Virtual Disk Manager that walk you through scenarios. I sold this mess a couple of times and configured it, but soon decided
    it's MUCH easier and more efficient to use a hardware RAID controller. Just my opinion.
