I guess unit 1 is mirrored drive. We do not see mirrored pair, because it
has the same unit number and WRKDSKSTS does not show it.

> You cannot divide a RAID set between two ASP, can you?

Yes, you can. This could explain sharp difference in %use and utilization.
If these are two different ASPs then they are properly balanced (within
themselves).
Unit 1 is always somewhat more loaded than others.

My guess this is an older system which could not have load source in a RAID
set.
So what we have is a 10 drive system.
Two drives are mirrored. Other 8 drives are in two RAID sets.
And drives 7, 8 and 9 could be ASP 2.
