Admins and managers,
I want to set up raid on two of my systems one a AS1200 the other an ES40,
both on 4.0g. They are both already running raid sets Raid 5 on a RA3000 and
Raid 0+1 on an RA7000 respectively. What I would like to achieve is raid on
the internal disks, Raid 1 on the system disk and raid 5 on data disks (I
gleaned this from the 300 odd archives I have read today). I am about to
purchase a single channel KZPAC-AA for each machine from our vendor, but
during my reading I came across the KZPAC-CA 3 channel card.
Questions:
Can I achieve what I want to do with a single channel card per machine?
Is there some good online doco I can find on the digital/compaq/hp sites?
Do I really have to use LSM or will hardware raid do the job?

Thanks in advance, I will summarise any answers.

Regards, John
