MetaDB in disk suite

2007-12-25 10:11:00

After some more testing and checking, looks like there HAVE to be 3 separate

copies on 3 separate disks to keep things going. You can put 2 copies on 1

disk, but if that disk is lost, the whole things disappears.

Additional info: this is an E3500 w/FCAL disks running Solaris 7 & Disk Suite

4.2.
