Michelle,

 

Like you, I came to NT from a Netware background. You are talking about just what we did with Netware - mirror volumes. And no, you can't do that with NT.

Cool.  So, I could create 3 of them as one volume so I don't have to give each drive a drive letter and then mirror that volume to the other three drives?

Duplexing to NT is the same as mirroring. Windows does not care if they are on one controller (mirroring) or on two controllers (duplexing)

I currently have a NetWare server with 6 Seagate ST39175LW drives on 2
Adaptec controllers in a duplexed configuration.  We are going to rebuild
the server as NT 4.0.  I don't think NT can mirror the drives in a duplexed
configuration like the one we currently have.  Am I wrong.  If not, what
would be the best configuration for the drives.  I was thinking of adding a
single drive on the build-in controller for the OS and using the other 6 for
data storage.  I'm just not sure how I should configure the other drives.

Thanks, Michelle
