Re: Informix, Sun, RAID?

The Sun Raid units work well (especially with Sun Kit) as do EMC, but they are not cheap. You should also look at the HDS units, I've always been impressed them, these were the last 3rd party units I used - disk fails, pull it out, put a new one in, walk away.

We want to use RAID to handle the raw disk database space. Unfortunately we are having a bad experience with a third party SCSI RAID where the unix filesystem management works fine, but the Informix raw space gets corrupted. The RAID vendor doesn't seem to have any information about how their product works with Informix. I would like to hear from anyone who has successfully combined Informix, Solaris and RAID. Is the best solution to get the RAID from SUN, or has anyone had luck with 3rd party vendors?
