based on customer request a RAID 10 array was created with the remaining 6 drives. The first drive ( hdisk0 ) had O.S. , hdisk1 was the mirror.<br />

configuring a POWER 720 server. Loading AIX 6.1. Server has base RAID feature 8630 with all &nbsp;drive slot filled. 8 total drives.<br />
<br />
Wanting to mirror boot on hdisk0 and hdisk1.<br />
<br />
first, once 2 physical drives are mirrored boot devices, &nbsp;is it still a possibility to use other RAID sets within that pair.<br />
also wondering about performance.<br />
What is most efficient RAID and grouping ? &nbsp;<br />
base feature 8630 offers RAID's 0,5,6,and 10.<br />
Is pairing the best choice for efficiency ?<br />
What happens with the first pair of mirrored boot drives as far as options to include them into one big RAID set with all the drives included if that is the best case ?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

IBM POWER 720  8205-E6B

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
