After doing more research I don't believe that this is the option I am looking for because of "A RAID5 metadevice can only handle a single slice failure." http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/805-5961/6j5kfkm2q?a=view#addtasks-22853 Question: >I am trying to install Raid V on a Sun Enterprise 250 Server that has 3 >disks. How should I do this? The only other Raid V setup I have performed >was on an A1000 using Raid Manager 6.22. > >Should I use disk suite? Is it free? Does it come with Solaris8?

It comes with Solaris 8 and is located "Solaris 8 Software" disk 2 directory in Solaris_8/EA/products/DiskSuite_4.2.1. Suggestions: In your md.tab file... d10 -r /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s1 /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s1 \ /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s1 This creates a RAID 5 device (with 3 disks - you can have more - just add them to the end). You can also specify the interleave size using -i. Disksuite is very easy to setup - just make sure you make lots of copies of the database or you will come unstuck!
