Traditional NetWare
partition.
4
Click
Create Partition and Volume
.
5
Specify the size of the partition in bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes
(GB).
If you plan to make this a mirrored partition, it must be compatible in data area size with other
partitions you plan to use. The physical size of the partition must be at least 100 KB, but no
more than 120 MB larger than the data size of the existing partitions in the mirror group.
6
(Conditional) To create a partition that can be mirrored, select
Mirror
and select one of the
following options:
Create New Mirror:
This option means you are making the partition capable of being
part of a mirror group. You do not actually create the group until you add another mirrored
partition to the partition you are creating.
Existing Mirror Group:
(If you select this option, also select the
ID
of the mirrored
partition.) This shows a list of existing mirror groups that are compatible in data area size.
This option lets you add this new partition to one of the mirror groups in the list.
7
Complete the required fields, click
Create
, then click
OK
to confirm your decision.
If this is a mirrored partition, NetWare displays the status as “
100% mirrored
” when the
mirroring is complete.
5.2.2 Unmirroring Partitions
You must unmirror mirrored partitions before you can delete a partition or conduct surface tests on a
disk.
1
In Novell Remote Manager for NetWare, click
Manager Servers > Partition Disks
.
2
Locate the partition you want to unmirror, then click the
Remove Mirror
link next to it.
This removes the partition from the mirror group. You can now delete the partition, if desired.
5.2.3 Recovering Data from an Out of Sync Disk
After a server disk is unmirrored, its status is listed as either
Not Mirrored
or
Out of Sync
on the
Disk Partition Mirroring Status
list.
Checking Mirror Status
1
At the server console command prompt, enter
mirror status
Resynchronizing the Mirror
When a server disk is listed as
Out of Sync
, the operating system does not recognize any volume
information on it. Use this procedure to recover data from an Out of Sync partition.
1
At the server console command prompt, enter:
remirror partition
id
Substitute the actual partition ID for
id
. For example, if the device is 0X1e, enter
remirror partition 1e
