Hi - I was wondering if someone could provide some assistance.

I have been doing some very basic systems administration on Solaris boxes
for some time, but now have a requirement to mirror a hard disk on a v210
box - the existing hard disk is a 36Gb unit.

I would appreciate it if someone could provide a blow by blow guide to
setting up mirroring as I have never done this before.

For example, are the hard disks hot pluggable, or am I going to have to down
the box before plugging it in ? Can the mirroring process by done whilst
Solaris is up or does it have to be done in single user mode ?

Thanks in advance - please try not to be too condescending in your replies -
remember we all started at the bottom once :)
