The AIX LVM supports RAID-0 and RAID-1, but not together, as you state. However, a rude form of RAID-0 can be achieved by specifying "max allocation policy", which will cause round-robin distribution of physical extents (PEs) across a list of physical volumes (PVs), thereby approximately RAID-0 at a large granularity (i.e. 4M, 8M, 16M per "stripe"). Still, it beats the heck out of RAID5...
