I hate to contradict, but indeed you can have both mirror sets on the SAME
SCSI card.

It's more desireable to assign each mirror set to different SCSI cards -
but not always possible - and certainly not a reqirement.

In any case, depending upon the environment, mirroring on a single SCSI
card is preferable to not mirroring at all, though probably less desireable
than using multiple SCSI cards.
