Mr/Ms Bakker,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I'm not certain but I think you've called me a DANGER to my company!! ha ha

I assure you, the ReDo devices are raw devices that are each striped across 3 drives, but my Unix Admin mapped Group A and B to the same 3 drives, Group C and Group D to the same 3 drives, etc.

I was merely asking how to get my ReDos to switch from A to C to B to D, that's all.

I accessed the Utilities manual on Tahiti. I found nothing in the Utilities manual that describes if this can be controlled and how, as I think you are saying in your reply.

If you could please point out where in that Utilities Manual i would surely love to read it.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Received on Mon Feb 07 2005 - 17:29:06 CST
