[SunHELP] SDS Mirroring on a Sun Blade 100

[Magnus Abrante]

Hi Vinay, Michael.

This is a known problem, it happens if you have two disks with the same
device ID.

Disksuite uses the disks device ID's, and if both disks have the same
ID disksuite will belive that its the same disk, which causes the error
messages below.

There is a small utility which changes the deviceid of a disk, i'll 
dig it up and send it you when i find it.

best regards,
