hi
this may be a very stupid question, but im quite new to Solaris (gonna buid my first system, Solaris 10 on x86 system, connected to other windows systems in a home network)
i wanna put a RAID 5 system in there to back up my other systems at home; iv read that its really so easy with SVM to set up any RAID (after installing the OS, very practical
)
i still didnt figure out though if a real RAID HW controller is needed, or a pseudo HW controller (you know, those motherboard integrated Raid chips you find nowadays on mainstream mobo's) or nothing at all...
as a side question, after i configure the SVM to use a RAID 5, i wont have wasted any disk space somewhere, will i? (yes im a real fanatic
)
thanks in advance for any answers
