DiskSuite 4.2.1 Database creation question
Post 302106121 by BOFH on Tuesday 6th of February 2007 04:32:19 PM

I have to say, I don't think I'd ever do this. If one of the two disks bails, you've lost everything. I guess it depends on the purpose. For a news server (something I ran years and years ago), it woudn't be a big deal since it'd just rebuild itself and repopulate from the 'net. But each disk reduces the MTBF for the entire "disk". We had a bunch of very small disks and our MTBF was 6 months which came out just about right.
The metadb command creates a replica database and needs to be on its own slice. The link I provided was to a lab so make sure you read the entire thing before starting
