Sparcstorage Array and Informix

We are installing a Sun Sparcenter 2000 utilizing the 30 GB Disk "SPARCStorage Array" (30 1GB Disks) in addition to 40GB of additional SCSI disks and are wondering the following: 1) Has anyone implemented the "SPARCStorage Array" with their databases yet? 2) Are you using the SUN "Volume Manager" to manage the disk array? By this I mean, make a virtual large disk from two smaller disks. Yes, I know I can't go past the 2 GB chunk limit or to make a virtual chunk (partition) striped across several disks. 3) Have there been any caveat's to using striping or mirroring with this configuration. Yes, I am well aware to: a) not mirror to same disk. b) use different controllers when possible to even out the load. SYSTEM NOTES: ------------ 1) Sparcenter 2000, Solaris 2.4 2) Sparcstorage Array (30GB) 3) Informix On-Line 7.1 4) Available Disks Space - 70 GB 5) Database Disk Space - 50GB Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | . . | | | ... ... | Darin Melin | | ..... ..... | Software Engineer, DBA | | .. ... .. | Business Systems Integration Group | | . . . | Semiconductor Products Sector | | | Mesa, AZ | | Motorola, Inc. | rp29560@email.sps.mot.com Phone:(602)-655-3627 | | | melin@hermes1.sps.mot.com | | | VP - Arizona Informix Users Group | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 'connectionLESS IS MORE' -- Data Broker | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
