Managers,

This is my first experience in setting up a unix system. I am being
confronted with RAID from several different directions and would like some
advice/information. We did not purchase RAID hardware. We have 6 18 GB
harddrives with one KZPBA-CA controller. The engineer who is going to
install the OS is talking about installing RAID software to configure the
disks. We have purchased the licenses for LSM, I have researched and come
up with a proposal for LSM disk groups and volumes along with the AdvFS
configuration that will suit our needs (mirrored/mirrored striped).

Question: The RAID software configuration within the kernel (what the
engineer is wanting to install) - how will it affect being about to use LSM
at the OS level? Any clarification of RAID terminology would also be
appreciated.

Thank you.
