We have Compaq dl370 server and two 9 gbyte scsi disk are set mirror
bootable disk. Nowadays the disk space is almost full and we would like to
replace the disks with 32 gbyte scsi disks. Is there any way to extend the
mirror. Can be the mirror extended ?

For example

First second
step thirth step
1 disk is 9 gbyte disk | mirror 1 disk is 32 gbyte disk
mirror 1 disk 32 gbyte disk | extended mirror
2 disk is 9 gbyte disk | 2 disk is 9 gbyte disk
2 disk 32 gbyte disk |


Any advice would be helpfull

Thank you

I would break the mirror, clone the 9 GByte disk to the
32 GByte disk, test it, then rebuild the mirror. This is a
safe operation because you're not changing anything on
the 9 GByte disk (other than breaking the mirror).
