I have not seen much discussion about the mirroring feature in IDS 9.2. Can it be used as a low cost Informix solution for RAID-1 (software/hardware) ? Thanks, Thanh Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Be sure to place a chunk and its mirror on separate spindles and preferably on separate controllers for maximum safety and uptime. Hardware mirroring is noticeably faster bug OS level mirroring is about the same as Informix mirror. Art S. Kagel
