OK guys & gals this is the issue: i am trying to sort out all the disks in all of our AIX servers.
12 hdisks w/ mirroring (so only 6 disks in uses @ any time)
2 volume groups (rootvg, vg1)
this does include muliple informix databases and misc. data.
Do you think it would be wise to break the mirror and go with a striping w/ parity? or should i stick w/ the mirroring as it is right now?
Backups (level 0) are done on all Logical Volumes (filesystems) nightly. Data loss is not permitted. Can i have some of your guys input as to what you think would be best.
I want to lean toward striping w/ parity so if a disk fails i can swap it out on the fly and lose no data. and gain some disk space.
