Fault tlolerant smart array configuration

Hi,

I am trying to spec. a DL580 for a service that has high reliability requirements. I have attached the basic spec. It has

* mirroring on internal disks
* two NIC's
* a Smart Array 5302/64 controller
* SW4314 rack intl
* 6 disks in RAID 5 config. with hot spare.
* dual processors

I am going to add some hot swap memory which will (I believe) mean that, apart from the system board and power supply the only other point of failure will be the array controller. If I purchase a second array controller is there any way I can cofigure the pair to work in some fault tolerance mode using native tools ?

If you are going all out, why not cluster the box or use a clustered storage solution?
Enjoy!

Re: Fault tlolerant smart array configuration

Reason for not going for clustering relates to a combination of internal and external issues. Basically this is it and I want to see how I can add as much fault tolerance as possible to the system which I have.
