Hi All, Currently we are running AIX over RS/6000 with TSM on top of it.This is further integrated to the IBM 3494 library. In the current scenario we have mirroring implemented only for the TSM database .I want to built in more redundancy therefore planning to go

Hi, Do not use RAID 5 if performance is at all a concern. I use RAID 1 (mirroring), for my database and log. I use RAID 0 (striping), for my disk pools. Jeff hit the nail on the head, configure your disks to be fast and build the redundancy into your tapes. IMHO, do not worry about redundancy
