Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for establishing a mirror configuration in a storage network. The storage network includes two storage drives that are coupled to one another according to a Serial Attached SCSI storage network interface. The storage drives determine whether the storage drives are coupled to one another. If it is determined that the storage drives are coupled to one another, the storage drives are configured in a mirror configuration in which write commands received at one of the drives are mirrored to the other drive.
