Storage Services Administration Guide.
Unmirroring Partitions
You must unmirror mirrored partitions before you can delete a partition or
conduct surface tests on a disk.
For instructions on unmirroring partitions, see Deleting a Partition in the
Novell Storage Services Administration Guide.
Recovering Data from an Out of Sync Disk
Once a hard disk is unmirrored, its status is listed as either Not Mirrored or
Out of Sync on the Disk Partition Mirroring Status list.
When a hard disk is listed as Out of Sync, the operating system does not
recognize any volume information on it. Use this procedure to recover data
from an Out of Sync partition.
