DMIO and FtDisk

Who of them is responsible for running the software RAIDs in w2k?
According to event log messages from my unformatted stripe set - it is
DmBoot/DmIo.
If DmIo runs the RAIDs - then what is FtDisk’s purpose?
Another question:

  • is it possible in w2k to mirror the stripe set?

DMIO is for volumes described in dynamic disks, whether they are simple
partitions or RAID/stiping. FTDISK is still used for volume sets on
‘basic’ disks, i.e. with the legacy partition format. If you use a basic
disk, and hence FTDISK, you do not get the portability and other features
of Veritas’s volume sets.
