raid config

[Anonymous]

Here is the situation:

I have an xServe RAID with seven modules on the upper and seven modules on the lower controller. I would like to use the upper controller as a production RAID 5 array and have all of that data mirrored onto the lower controllers array. How or better yet …. what is the best way to accomplish this? I have heard bad things about 51, but have no experience in it. Will it be destined to fail if I do this? I am open to suggestions as well.

I haven’t come across any major disasters doing this. Obviously you’ll be doing the mirror in software.
What have you heard, and more importantly where did you hear it?
