RE: Load Source Mirroring with RAID-5

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No,  We went to DPY on our 720.  Our 400, (not AS400 but model 400 of the
AS400), has DPY on the 8 drives in the expansion unit and the 2 internals
are mirrored to each other.  This was done because we can't DPY those drives
on the load source controller.

Subject: Load Source Mirroring with RAID-5


Does anyone still do this ?
At one point on older hardware it was necessary when you couldn't have the 
load source drive in a RAID set, but with new systems does anyone still 
mirror the load source drive while using RAID-5 for the rest of the system 
?  If so, why did you decide to do this ?
