D. John, Both disks should be external. One is esp1 scsi0 and the other esp2 scsi0. If you are using one internal and one external drive this is not standard. The Internal HD is on a different SCSI bus.

Any comments will be highly appreciated. Some background information: - the system is running V 6.5.2 - check helpful hints, it indicated some dft scripts issue for version 6.2 or older, not sure if this is the same issue. = - using an external hard drive as the mirror disc - run dft format_disk ESP1 SCSI0 with message of operation succeeded, (Foxboro literature states, run dft format_disk ESP2 SCSI0 on Ultra 60 box or AW51E but was not successful) - executed dft create_sys, invalid partition message came up. = - check partition tables for both hard disc, both are identical as below: = Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 119 169.28MB (120/0/0) 346680 1 swap wu 120 - 359 338.55MB (240/0/0) 693360 2 backup wm 0 - 24619 33.92GB (24620/0/0) 71127180 3 unassigned wm 360 - 363 5.64MB (4/0/0) 11556 4 var wm 364 - 443 112.85MB (80/0/0) 231120 5 unassigned wm 444 - 743 423.19MB (300/0/0) 866700 6 usr wm 744 - 2743 2.76GB (2000/0/0) 5778000 7 unassigned wm 2744 - 24619 30.14GB (21876/0/0) 63199764 - = Kind Regards, D.
