Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have two IBM eServers. Both have identical hardware configuration.
Currently I have one box up and running SUSE 9.3 Pro.
What I want to do is mirror the setup to the second IBM eServer.

The major glitch I am having is that the SUSE box is running two RAID 5's (per box) with software RAID from SUSE. I have onboard RAID, but I am not using it.

Does anyone know a working procedure for getting these two boxes to mirror?
Or do I have to first configure the RAID on the 2nd eServer and THEN copy data to it?

Thanks guys!

I'm not sure how the software raid works, but you probably need to setup the partitions / software raiding the way you want. Then it becomes as simple as tarring and untarring the filesystem from the original machine.
