Re: Informix and RAID?

I'm completely in the dark about this at the moment, but I'm starting a new job on the 14th October, and I'm sure that RAID was mentioned in my interview. They're using Informix 5.03 on SCO (don't know the version) on a twin Pentium 133 server. I'll report back once I've got more info (ie once I've started the job, found my feet and re-established email contact with c.d.i.!!) Cheers, Richard.
