3–18 Creating Storagesets
Using Striped Mirrorsets for Highest
Performance and Availability
Striped mirrorsets are simply stripesets whose members are mirrorsets. Consequently,
this kind of storageset combines the performance of striping with the reliability of
mirroring. The result is a storageset with very high I/O performance and high data
availability (see Figure 3–8).
Figure 3–8. Striping and Mirroring in the Same Storageset
The failure of a single disk drive has no effect on this storageset’s ability to deliver
data to the host and, under normal circumstances, it has very little effect on
performance. Because striped mirrorsets do not require any more disk drives than
mirrorsets, this storageset is an excellent choice for data that warrants mirroring.
