Mirrored Partitions Do Not Remirror Automatically
When mirrored partitions become unsynchronized, they should resynchronize
automatically. If partitions do not resynchronize, complete the following
steps:
1 In ConsoleOne, browse and select the tree you want to manage, and then
click the Partition Disk Management icon.
2 Enter the eDirectory tree and context and server information.
3 Click Properties > Media > Mirror > Resync.
4 If the partitions still do not resynchronize, you must re-create the mirrored
set.
4a Determine which disk partition has the data you want to save and
mirror.
4b Delete the other disk partitions.
4c Recreate new partitions in place of the ones you deleted.
4d Mirror the partition containing data to the new partitions.
For information about mirroring, see Creating a Partition in the Novell
Storage Services Administration Guide.
If the problem still occurs, follow the troubleshooting steps in “Using a
Troubleshooting Methodology” on page 105, search the Novell
Knowledgebase (http://support.novell.com/search/kb_index.jsp), and contact
a Novell Support Provider.

 Make sure there are no problems related with the hard disks or drivers you
are using.
For known problems with specific hard disks or drivers, contact the drive
vendor to ask if there are ways to speed drive mirroring. For example,
