E4500 Raid
I have a Sun E4500 with some disk attached. Right now, everything is RAID 0 (no mirroring, RAID 5, etc.). Each disk (all 33.6 G) have 1 slice on them. Is it possible to put in RAID 0 or RAID 5? How much data would we lose by doing this? Is it even possible? What software would I use? It is running Solaris 8 and Oracle 9i.
