If the command returns the phrase
Module: VIRTUAL DISK
in the output,
you have a synchronized mirror. For example:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Module: VIRTUAL DISK
Rev: 1000
Type:
Direct-Access
ANSI SCSI revision: 02
If the command returns information about two hard drives, proceed to step 3. For
example:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: FUJITSU
Model: MAN3735MP
Rev: 5507
Type:
Direct-Access
ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: FUJITSU

To verify that the two hard drives were both mirrored, look at the partition structure
on both hard drives.
NOTICE:
After the partitions are displayed, do not press <d >, which allows you to delete the
mirrors.
a
To access hard drive 0, type
fdisk -l /dev/sda
.
b
To access hard drive 1, type
fdisk -1 /dev/sdb
.
c
Compare the output of both commands. If the partition numbers and sizes on
both
/dev/sda
and
/dev/sdb
are identical, the hard drives were part of a RAID 1
mirror.
4
Type
df -h
to display the partitions that are currently mounted by the operating
system.
If all of the partitions are mounted from
/dev/sda
and no partitions are mounted
from
/dev/sdb
,
/dev/sdb
is the secondary drive in the mirror.
If all of the partitions are mounted from
/dev/sdb
and no partitions are mounted
from
/dev/sda
,
/dev/sda
is the secondary drive in the mirror.
