We are running with MultiPacks too. Our plan is to have a database of
about 10 GB
and don't want to mirror the database. Instead we like to use SDS which
give us
e.g. RAID 5. So we need the metadevices. On the other hand we plan to
have a disk
cache of about 80 GB in front of our DLT library and this based on RAID
5 too.
Why do we do this ? This is in case of a single point of (disk) failure.

The question about a file size greater than 2 GB relates to the server
too. As we
can't set up ADSM on metadevices at the moment and don't like to have
native disks we
must set up file systems and (database or log) files in it. Therefore we
need a
file size greater than 2 GB.

What Release level of ADSM do you run ?
