- Sparc Server Manager has been replaced by a product called Online
- DiskSuite. This is
- a software mirroring solution which will run on a SS2 under 4.1.2 -
- 4.1.3. It provides
- full disk mirroring of root and swap and any data disks.
-
- It supports mirroring, concatination and stripeing. It supports UFS and
- raw partitions
- and is fully transparent to applications.
-
- Online DiskSuite is faster than Sparc Server Manager, less overhead on
- writes (10 %)
- and a performance gain on reads. It also allows better disk syncroniztion than
- SParc Server Manager did.

-
- If you need more information on this product talk to your local SUN sales rep.
