Re: disk array questions

not much, i would suggest using RAID 1 if you aren't already. but for faster disk, you would need to move to a SAN like EMC, Hitachi (they have fast on board cache) that increases performance. but you are limited with an autoraid as far as performance goes. Especially if you are running Oracle databases etc....

Re: disk array questions

check this link out:
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xf03863f96280d711abdc0090277a778c,00.html

it will describe some performance settings.

However, for real performance benefits, a correct lvm lun access is the way.. ie access lun 0 thru X, access lun 1 thru Y. that way load is balanced across 2 scsi busses and you don't end up with one bus idle.
It works for me (tm)
