Hello Geom'ers, What is the ideal strategy to get ggated device mutually available in two different systems, in a combination with gmirror class? I have tried some different approaches. My original idea was to gg.export a partition and use this same partition to 1) gmirror with a second disk on the local machine and 2) gmirror with the remote disk on the remote machine. Only the second step was possible because I could not export a gmirrored partition nor I could gmirror an exported partition. Now I am thinking of associating the local partition with a ggateN device using ggatel(8), export one of those (maybe the ggate local one, maybe the real device, I dont know yet) in such a way the exported device can, somehow (virtually, via ggate local device or phisically) be used for both, ggate exported device and gmirrored device. Or, if any other strategy seems more correct, I would appreciate suggestions. In summary I want to have gmirrored enviroment in two servers with one device commom to both servers, so I can be confident that both systems will always access the same data from both machines. If I can make my goals any clearer, let me know. Thank you.
