    Dear all,
    I have a query related to MA8000 (HSG80) controller. Presently there is
    a TruCluster 5.1A running on 2*Alphaserver ES40 with one MA8000 Storage.
    The configuration of Cluster OS Disks in MA8000 Storage is as follows:
    Member1 Disk : 1* 9GB (Un-mirrored)
    Member2 Disk : 1* 9GB (Un-mirrored)
    Quorum Disk : 1* 9GB (Un-mirrored)
    Cluster-OS : 2* 18GB(Mirrored)

    Now I'm worried on the Disks which are Un-mirrored (M1, M2, Q & CL-OS)
    in MA8000 Storage. Can you please let me know the procedure to Mirror
    these un-mirrored 9GB Disks. I have sufficient no. of 9GB spare disks to
    mirror.

    Since these are Cluster-OS disks with lots of CDSL etc., so I 'm not
    comfortable with Tape Backup & restoration.

    Thanks in advance.
    Vimal
