You were saying that OS view of memory of node is something like the following ?
Node X: |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------| (legend) M: mirrored -: not mirrrored
If so, is this a real Box's configuration? Sorry, I haven't got a real Address Range Mirror capable boxes yet ... I thought mirroring range is concatenated at the first part of each node.
Sincerely, Taku Izumi
