IDS 9 on Solaris Here's another thing I'm too lazy to test. I have a database server on UNIX box 1 which I want to restore to another UNIX server (box 2). Obviously to use ontape the disk layouts have to be identical. I'm short of disk on box 2. The IDS server on box 1 has all its chunks mirrored. If I set up just the primary chunks (and not the mirrors) on box 2 will the restore work? I'd have thought it would. Thanks Neil
