Multipathing and redundant controllers in the 6140 gets you HARDWARE redundancy, so you are (less) susceptible to a piece of hardware killing your setup. You should _still_ use ZFS redundancy to get all the other benefits, from self-healing to true block integrity, none of which is provided by the hardware (any hardware, for that matter). -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
