Thanks Hugo. I already have this running in ClusterXL Active/Standby configuration. I would like to increase the redundancy with mirror RAID-1 on the hard drive itself with the belief that I do not have to reboot the server to achieve this once the raid is configured and that I just need to replace a bad hard-drive with a new one.

Besides very specific hardware requirement that require complex RAID setups I avoid hardware RAID controllers. In this case SPLAT could have given you RAID 1 as well but without the hardware pricetag and with full control. In your case you should have used the Dell tools to rebuild the array. I think you will have a hard time getting them to run on SPLAT however. So the other options would have been to restart and rebuild using the BIOS. That would result in significant down time. So I think you clearly need to rethink this setup. Hugo. - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG?
