Re: move data to new disk

Posted in 2006

Summary

rhys said a disk to be moved to was a hardware RAID 5 volume on a Sun card. Neil Truby, Paul Watson and Art Kagel all strongly advised against RAID 5 for Informix; Paul said his company installs on RAID 5 only if the customer signs a disclaimer of liability for data loss. No other technical discussion was given.
