Windows Server 2003 provides support for volume mirroring. To get this set up correctly, you need at least two physical disks.
-
The first disk (I'll call it "disk0") must be a dynamic disk.
-
The second disk (I'll call it "disk1") must be a dynamic disk.
-
Disk1 must have unallocated space at least the size of the volume you intend to mirror.
Seems simple enough. However, when I opened the Disk Management MMC snapin, clicked "Add Mirror" on disk0, and chose disk1 as the target, I got this error message:
Cannot mirror to a disk with a different partition style.
Both disks were marked as "dynamic," so I wasn't sure what Windows was complaining about. But when I right clicked on disk1, I was able to convert the disk from dynamic to MBR. After making this choice, it worked. Moral: there's more to the label "dynamic" than meets the eye.
