Re: OS400 DATA MIGRATION

["Neil Palmer"<NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 2 cents worth.  You should add an 8th disk to that new RAID set (you 
have 7 x 8.58GB planned), that way the parity 
striping will be spread across all 8 disks instead of just the first 4, 
which will the have higher utilization than the rest.
