[SunHELP] SDS Mirroring on a Sun Blade 100

[Michael Karl]

Ok ... I think this maybe true for Vinay.

But my problem is, that I'm not able to create a metadevice.
The replicas are on a separate partition of the boot-disk.

I think, it will be better to deinstall SDS, reboot the machine, run the
utility and final reinstall SDS 4.2.1.

?:-) Michael
