My V440 has (4) 72GB drives, and I was wondering if it is possible to do a hardware Raid 5 across them? If so, how would you go about doing it?

If not, could you software Raid 5 all of them, or would one have to be a dedicated boot / OS disk?

Thanks,
Steve
 
You can use sds (disksuite). If using Solaris 9 it is called LVM. This is Software only.















 
afaik there is no Hardware RAID5 for V440

SVM (aka SDS) can do a software RAID5 but this won't help you

Read my post in your other (data) thread!
