As others have already said, you can't. However, ... RAID1 on the same LUN wouldn't work or make sense. However, to mitigate switch/path failures you could do the following to gain path-resiliency: 1. Create two LUNs identical sized on the SAN 2. On the SAN unit, present the LUNs out separate fiber-adapters/paths/fabrics/switches. 3. Obviously you'll need to connect your HBAs to the two independent paths. 3. Use LVM or RAIDFrame to mirror the two LUNs into a RAID1 configuration. 4. Celebrate. You've used 2x the storage, but gained resiliency and can withstand a complete path failure. Thanks, Swift
