Mirrored partitions must be compatible in data area size. This means the new partition must
be at least the same size or slightly larger than the other partitions in the group. The physical
size (combined data and Hot Fix size) of the partition must be at least 100 KB larger, but no
more than 120 MB larger than the data size of the existing partitions in the mirror group.
8. To mirror the partition, select Mirror and select one of the following options:
• Create New Mirror. This option means you are making the partition capable of being
part of a mirror group. You do not actually create the group until you add another mirrored
partition to the partition you are creating.
• Existing Mirror Group. (If you select this option, also select the ID of the mirrored partition.)
This shows a list of existing mirror groups that are compatible in data area size. This
option lets you add this new partition to one of the mirror groups in the list.
