Hi all, trying to figure this out here...

I am going to patch a NT fileserver with some sev 1, 2 and 3 patches and updates.

Do I need to turn of mirroring first? Is there other things that need to be turned off as well?

Thanks for any help all :)

Not sure what "sev" is - are you talking about security patches? Or is this something related to a RAID card through which you are doing mirroring? If you are talking about operating system or any other type of software patches, there's no reason to turn off mirroring. The only thing you really need to worry about is anti-virus software, which can sometimes interfere with loading software updates and patches. So, I would turn off any real-time scanning module of your antivirus software before loading the patches.

Hope this helps!
