RAID is an advanced topic, but one that me absolutely MUST cover on the L2 exam. I can tell you from TI's own IT department (supporting 20K+ users around the world) that there is not a single server system, not one, that we install that doesn't support RAID. From the humblest Compaq file and print all the way up to the big Sun E10Ks...we've got RAID on all of them. From my experience in other "big" enterprise shops, the picture looks pretty much the same. Hardware vendors have done a great job of selling enterprise IT folks on the benefits of RAID. HD's with ever increasing storage capacity and their cost decreasing, RAID continues to become more attractive as a solution for continous uptime/fault recovery. (Tape backup technology is just not keeping up with density increases in HD's) Our NT techs are expected to be able to support RAID on NT; you can bet a Linux system admin is going to face the same requirements. Especially in a production envirionment. Anyway, that's my rant, what do you think? Jared -- This message was sent from the lpi-examdev mailing list.
