   Mirror line is data replication network for replication program. Each pair of IP address between nodes must be on the same subnet. If these subnet are not matched between nodes, 'Test' button for verification will not be enabled. When you use mirror disk resource, you can configure three heartbeats. It is highly recommended to configure the heartbeats at least three when you use mirror disk resource.
