how to do raid0 (mirror) of 2 disks

Firstly, a 440 can only have four internal disks, so what are you using for the other two? Nothing like mirroring across different controllers.

I wonder what happend for it to be fatal. Disk mirroring is very easy if you follow the instructions step by step.

Also the V440 has raidctl which can sometimes confuse even the best of sysadmins. Many people see four disks but when the do a format, they only see three. Thats because LSI hardware mirroring is done on the root disks.

So if you don't want to use SVM, check out:

or whatever the Sun site is.

It is physically impossible for a SunFire V440 system to have six internal disk drives.

The chassis has four disk drive bays and a slim aperture for the optical drive.

Perhaps you should open a service case with Sun's techsupport.

Provide them with the system serial number from the rear of the chassis

and they will look it up to confirm the actual model type.

While you are there, they can forward you to Sun's STORAGE support team

for assistance with mirroring.
