Hi there. We're just moving from a RAID5 box onto some SSA disk, so we have to think about mirroring. Informix recommends Informix mirroring, and IBM recommends AIX (what a shock!). We are running AIX 4.1.4 and Informix 7.20 on an 8-way RS6000. Seems to me that AIX mirroring on a JFS would be easier to manage than Informix mirroring and raw space, but I'm worried about performance .. it's a busy oltp application. Any ideas or opinions?
