Hi, I have a need to mirror data between two servers for failover purposes. I've been reading up on Ggate and Gmirror and I want to try them. From what I've gathered I will need a dedicated disk or disk slice in each server to be able to mirror them. Unfortunately this is an afterthought and these two machines are already sliced and partitioned without this scheme in mind. I would like to avoid rebuilding them or adding disks. Is it possible to have Ggated export a Vnode device from one machine, and from the other machine import this device with Ggatec and mirror it with another Vnode device running locally with Gmirror? Thanks, Aragon
