I apologized for the late summary (been a hectic week). Thanks to many users on the list (too many to list), apparently you can setup RAID 0+1 and with the underlying disks being the same, RAID 1+0 is achieved. Sun's own word on SVM (same goes for DiskSuite on Solaris 8)... RAID 1 + 0 Solaris Volume Manager intelligently provides RAID 1 + 0 capabilities when the underlying devices are identical physical disks. If logical devices can support internal redundancy, as in the case of network storage devices, Solaris Volume Manager provides RAID 0 + 1. http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-6111/6jf2ve3fo?a=view#about-mirrors-7 Solaris Volume Manager cannot always provide RAID 1+0 functionality. However, in a best practices environment, where both submirrors are identical to each other and are made up of disk slices (and not soft partitions), RAID 1+0 will be possible.

I'm not seeing it in my ES-220 manual (this is the DiskSuite Management course, or maybe I overlooked it?) which I don't think so, I didn't fall asleep in class... I've found the following at sunmanagers.org but no specific step-by-step. http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2002-June/013785.html - Mike _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Mar 28 11:09:46 2003
