NetWare® allows you to protect your data with disk mirroring or duplexing.
Mirroring stores the same data on separate disks on the same controller channel; duplexing stores the same data on separate disks on separate controller channels.
Duplexing is the preferred method since two channels rarely fail simultaneously.
Do not mirror a partition on a disk to another partition on the same disk. Doing so is not fault tolerant, even though mirroring allows it.
With multiple partitions on a disk, any partition can be mirrored to any other disk. This provides considerable flexibility in protecting partitions.
For information on mirroring and duplexing partitions, see Creating a Partition in the Novell Storage Services Administration Guide.
IMPORTANT: Access the ConsoleOne online help for important information about mirroring partitions.
