4 drives - 2 mirrored pairs

Hi,

I'm a new Solaris sysadmin and I have a solaris 9 system with 4 drives. The first 2 drives are mirrored and don't have any more space left on them. I other 2 drives are unformatted/untouched.

Can I set up another mirrored set with the 2 unused drives so I can get some more room? Do I need to create another state database replica?

I tried mirroring the other two without creating another state database replica and I can't mount the mirror. It says you need to run fsck.

thanks

adam

No you don't need another state database.For unused drives, normally you would setup the mirroring. Then run newfs on the metadevice. Then add the metadevice to the fstab to mount it.
