Configuring Disks for RAID
- Thread starter UnixHP
- Start date
more than likely(standard practice), 2 of the 5 disks should be set aside for the "OS" drives. these should both be placed in vg00. One should be mirrored to the other (RAID1) and both enabled to boot off of.
that leaves you with 3 drives, not really enough to make a huge difference with striping, but you can still do it. I would not recommend it, although HPUX's LVM can do software striping. It will not be a huge performace gain, and there is no parity, so if you loose a disk, you loose them all (in that stripe set).
