Subject: Remote mirror with XP Pro

Good afternoon,

I thought you could set up a software mirror through XP Pro, but now
that I sat down to do it, I realize I can't.  In researching the
issue, I see that you can create a mirror on a remote system, but only
see references to 200 Server.  Does anyone know if this can be done to
a 2003 Server volume?

Instead of having two local drives configured as a mirrored volume,
I'd like to mirror a drive on the XP box to a drive on a 2003 server.
This would be done over a gigabit network, BTW.

Thanks,

My IT Manager is just that, a manager.  I don't expect him to have the
level of knowledge that I do as an Admin/Engineer.  I always joke with
him that his eyes glaze over when I start speaking technically to him.
However, he has a great understanding of the fundamentals and oversees
our inhouse software development and IT processes.

You may think that is a beginner but see it as maybe something you come to
expect of all systems if you work with servers for so long and you just
don't pay attention to those kinds of things on clients.

Re: Remote mirror with XP Pro

2009-01-08 Thread Eric Brouwer
Dude, you have some issues.  I can build a mirrored volume just fine  
on a server.  I can establish RAID 5 as well if you're interested.   
This is the first time I've wanted to mirror a disk on a desktop.   
Started to, and realized I couldn't.  Started reading why I couldn't,  
and saw a reference to mirroring data to a remote disk, and it  
specifically called it a mirror, not a copy or a sync.  Thought I'd  
ask the group here about it.


Learning something new, that's all, but thanks for your concern.

Subject: Remote mirror with XP Pro

Good afternoon,

I thought you could set up a software mirror through XP Pro, but now
that I sat down to do it, I realize I can't.  In researching the
issue, I see that you can create a mirror on a remote system, but

only

see references to 200 Server.  Does anyone know if this can be done

to

a 2003 Server volume?

Instead of having two local drives configured as a mirrored volume,
I'd like to mirror a drive on the XP box to a drive on a 2003

server.

This would be done over a gigabit network, BTW.

Thanks,

RE: Remote mirror with XP Pro

2009-01-08 Thread Joseph L. Casale
You can theoretically mirror a block device remotely over Ethernet using iSCSI 
for example, but I think the catch is that mirroring at the block level 
remotely is much more involved and requires some stable network topology, I am 
sure you would be better set mirroring at the file level. You can't create a r1 
array on a WinXP box anyway IIRC, and I think were you got confused was this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314343
What that very poorly written article meant to say was you could remotely 
manage a server and create the array on the server *from* a winxp box. That 
is such a lame article...

Dude, you have some issues.  I can build a mirrored volume just fine  
on a server.  I can establish RAID 5 as well if you're interested.   
This is the first time I've wanted to mirror a disk on a desktop.   
Started to, and realized I couldn't.  Started reading why I couldn't,  
and saw a reference to mirroring data to a remote disk, and it  
specifically called it a mirror, not a copy or a sync.  Thought I'd  
ask the group here about it.

Learning something new, that's all, but thanks for your concern.

 Somebody already mentioned robocopy that can accomplish this.  Another

Sorry everyone.  Long day so far.  I should never have responded to  
this again, and will let it go.


Thanks to all who suggested using robocopy to accomplish this goal (it  
will work nicely) and to all those who have helped in the past.  You  
guys rock!

Re: Remote mirror with XP Pro

2009-01-07 Thread Phil Brutsche
You're talking about 2 different kinds of mirroring.

The first kind is a software RAID1; this is not available in desktop
editions of Windows unless you use a hardware RAID card. You do it in
Server 2003 the exactly the same way you do it in 2000 Server. Server
2008 is pretty similar.

The second kind is replicating data on one drive to another on a
different computer. This is not RAID1. There are many utilities that
will perform such synchronization. robocopy from the Windows Server
2003 resource kit is one such tool and does a very very good job.
