So, Jared, are you auditioning for Louis Rukeyser's job? 8-)
Lisa can probably explain better, but as I recall, BCV is something Backup Control
Volumes. It's a third mirror that can be split off from the other two and used for a
cold backup (e.g. shutdown Oracle database, split BCVs from the mirror set, restart
Oracle (this takes like 5 minutes or less); run cold backup at your leisure). Then
they can be re-attached to the mirrored disks at any time and the BCVs are
synchronized with the mirrored disks automagically. Right Lisa?

Ok, does someone one to define SRDF and BCV for
those of us that don't have any idea what you're
talking about?
