[SunHELP] Disk Mirroring and failover

[Bret Adams]

I believe if the main drive fails, you would have to reboot into the ok 
prompt and then get the boot command to boot off of the second drive. Then 
replace the original drive and then rebuild the mirror.

If the mirrored drive fails, you only have to hotswap a new drive in and 
rebuild the mirror.
