I have a NT 4.0 Server with a mirror set made up of 2 9gb user/data scsi disks. I have 2 18gb disks to replace them. what steps should I take to modify this? My idea was;
*Break mirror set
*Add #1 18gb disk into mirror set
*After it copies and settles down break set again and add #2 18gb drive in.

Did i miss anything?

 
What you have suggested appears to be ok to me. Remember to make sure that the partitions are the same type & size each time you break the mirror.

And, do a full backup before you start. Not one, but two. (never can be too sure!) Just in case. It could be seen as paranoia, but then again...
