On first server you must make gmirror with one (local) disk. After that, you must start ggated on second server, ggatec on first server, run "gmirror forget ${DRIVE}" and add ggate${ID} disk in gmirror mirror. > I'm trying to stop the volume, then start ggatec on another server (all volumes are > always exported with ggated on both servers), then I'm recreating mirror with gmirror "always exported" -- not very good for me.
