RE: CACHE BATT EXP 90 DAYS???

Don't recall if System i supports it, but can't you also mirror a RAID5
set?

Thanks for the explanation. I guess most people who are going to ignore

the first message about a drive in a raid set going bad until yet
another
one goes down would probably be in the same boat as someone who would
ignore a mirrored controller going bad until the other mirrored one goes

bad and the system goes casters up. Although I think I've heard of two
raid drives going bad not too awful far part from each other. I think
RAID6 is supposed to increase it from only 1 bad drive supported to 2
bad
drives supported.
With our luck, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
Just heard of another local company that had pretty much the same power
problems as we've had (UPS not lasting, generator kicking in but the
transfer switch not kicking in, etc).
