Mirroring doesn't work!

[DutchDude]

Hi all,

I just installed StandBy Server 5.3 on our
server. 1 production server (Netware 5.1 SP 3)
with 4 disks, one StandBy Server with the same
setup using a dedicated link between the 2
servers. Installation went smooth, standby server
can see the primary and vica versa. In NWCONFIG
on the primary server I select the Standard Disk
Options, from the Available Disk Options menu I
select Mirror/Unmirror Disk Partitions, from the
Disk Partition Mirroring Status window I select
the disk partition containing live data I want to
mirror to another partition. I see the standby
volumes in the list, I use F5 to select one,
press enter and escape back to the list. Nothing
seems to happen after that! If I choose another
disk the disk I previously choose for mirroring
is gone but nothing seems to happen! When I type
MIRROR STATUS on the console it just keeps saying
that the drive is NOT MIRRORED. All partitions on
the standby server have either a netware
partition with the same size or a bigger size. I
have no clue what to do next. Any help is very
much appreciated.

groet,
Klaas van Nus

Hi Klaas,

how did you create the partitions on the standby server?

On my machine mirroring was running well after I deleted the partitions on the standby-server and created them anew from the primary server....
