5.5 Duplexing
Both Mirroring and Duplexing are referred to as mirroring in the NetWare operating system.
Duplexing involves two drives on two separate host adapters, while Mirroring is associated
with two drives on a single host adapter. Before enabling the duplexing function, be sure to
load the driver NV4XXBMP.DSK two times for NetWare 4.xx (or NV31XBMP.DSK for
NetWare 3.1x).
Further information about this subject can be found in the NetWare manual.
