Can anyone see any flaws in my cunning plan.

I have system that is mirrored.

This holds both a production (live) account and a test account.

The drawback, as I see it, is that for every n gig of disk I only really
have half of it really available.

I am toying with the idea of adding some new disks but assigninging it to a
non mirrored volume set i.e. test_set. I will leave the live account on the
mirrored set i.e. live_set and move/build a test account on a non mirrored
test_set volume set.

This will reduce the amount of disk required by the test system i.e.
basically half that required by the live account if I dump the live account
into the test account.

Does anyone do this?

Can anyone see any problems with what appears to be a simple solution?

I assume that when bulding files in the live account they will end up on
the mirrored volume as the account/groups are assigned via ONVS/HOMEVS to
the mirrored volume wilst the test data will end up on the none mirrored
volumes.

The applications will have to run across the volumes as I will have them on
the mirrored set.

TIA
