So you're building your LUNs RAID5 4+1, then presenting multiple LUNs to =
the server and striping across them with your VM, or what?

or is each DSSU only the size of 4 disks.

Hi Monte,=20

I did one install with EMC DMX1000 disk with hardware mirroring used =
for a DSSU and I have to say I found performance wasn't great. Worse =
than LTO2 performance but this was writing to a fairly small number of =
physical drives, though performance wasn't an issue so I didn't spend a =

I wanted to get a feel for what type of disk storage is being used out =
there for disk based backups. I am specifically looking for SAN =
attached storage ATA, SATA and what type of RAID is used and how it is =
performing overall. The NBU 6.0 tuning guide shows RAID-5 but I am =
wondering if anyone is using RAID-10 or others.=20
