Hi, We've just bought a new IBM H70 with AIX 4.3.3. Additionally, we bought 3 RAID controllers the same type - PCI 3-Channel Ultra2 SCSI RAID Adapter (#2494). This's the only RAID controller, IBM offers now for RISC boxes, by their words. However, this controller supports RAID 0, 1 and 5, only. So, we have no Informix's lovely RAID 10. What are your recommendations for an optimal configuration of our IBM box? Thank you in advance! Milen

And you can't create the mirrors first, and stripe on those? Thomas
