Re: load source concurrent maintenance

Thanks as always, Rob.

So I have this:

System Unit                      9406-270   FR01          
Backplane                       283E       P19         DB1
 Disk Unit                *     6718-074   P06         D01
 Disk Unit                      6718-074   P08         D02
 Disk Unit                      6718-074   P11         D03
 Disk Unit                      6718-074   P10         D04
 Disk Unit                      6718-070   P09         D05
 Disk Unit                      6718-070   P20         D06

That's six drives in a RAID set.  Works nicely, everybody is happy.  But 
from the way I read Larry's statement, if D01 goes, I'm SOL.  Is the 
better option to somehow mirror two of them for the load source and then 
put the other four in a RAID set?  I'd lose one drive of effective 
space, or 20% of my total.  And can this even be done without some 
serious hoop jumping (i.e. reloading the system)?
