We will shortly be upgrading our primary database server to a Sparc 1000 runing Solaris 2.4 and Informix 7.1. During this upgrade we are also considering the purchase of one of Andataco's GigaRAID/FT products as well as Verita Software's Volume Manager and Journaling File System. Informix has advised us in the past to use the fragmentatiton facility in their version 7.1 rather than the striping capability of Online Disk Suite. I'm wonderingif anyone has experience with Informix 7.1 and either GigaRAID/FT (or any hardware RAID solutions) or Veritas Software's Volume Manager. Any comments will be appreciated.
