Most of our servers boot from a mirror so getting this setup is nothing new, but I'm in the process of repurposing one of our G5 xServes and it refuses to boot from the mirror.

Could you be more vague? I'm out of goat entrails and the tea leaves are being used... for my tea.


Normally when people try to troubleshoot they like to have lost of pertinent and specific information. How the mirror is set up, off what devices, how it was created, ... and then they want errors or messages that you get, signs, symptoms, etc... because these facts are what you use to diagnose a problem.

What, for instance, might be the nvram boot-device and boot-args?

What happens when you try and boot?


Has anyone else experienced these problems or have any other tips?

Yes: using RAID v1 sw is rather silly in Tiger. Use RAID v2 like Tiger expects. Does that work?


Or perhaps by "SW RAID 1" you didn't mean v1 of the RAID sw but that you were using a RAID1? Who knows.
