With the HP, i turned off both servers. From server 1 i took the drive from
slot two, and in server 2, put it in slot 2 and left slot 1 empty. Turned
both servers on, they booted right up. Then whatever drive got put in the
empty slot once running, got written to as the mirror.
after that, it was just a matter or running newsid, joining the domain,
joining the farm etc.
