Only difference is whether or not you have slices mapped to the different filesystems (volumes) on the mirror. At least root will already be mapped (can't boot without that being there). If there are other filesystems that are present but aren't mapped, you can create the slices with 'vxmksdpart'. If you've done that (or you don't have any filesystems other than root), then you're done. -- Darren _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx
