Hi Doug,

Actually, our config is:

3 RAID-5 volume groups on the array (with 2 LUNs each).
1 RAID-Z zpool per physical host composed of one LUN from each of the
3 volume groups.

This allows for loss of 3 drives in a worst case, and 4  drives in a best case.

Thanks Jason,

Yes, this does help. I think you are doing all raid through ZFS. The
disk array is being used a FC JBOD.

Thanks!
