Tim,
other than the instructors comment, is there any other documentation or information available to me about ORACLE7 and RAID? Is this a specific hardware/controller issue? Even Oracle's "SIZER" application for NT/Proliant recommends RAID5 for data and cotrol files and RAID1 for system.

Thanks in advance,
kevin
