Re: Mirror rootvg questions

Hello All

I don't think that's a good idea. If you do not mirror swap and the disk
with the swap on it fails your machine will panic. Even worse if you add a
second swap on 2nd disk, your machine is gone if either drive fails.

Thanks

Steven

I would remove one of the copies of hd6, though, you don't want to mirror
your swap. i'd add a second swap, the same size as the first on the other
spindle.

hd6 paging 32 64 2 open/syncd N/A
