Sure, just keep your raid group size at a
reasonable level, to avoid double disk failures, and use multiple raid
groups. I had a semi-large volume running RAC for about a year which had
6 groups of 12, so 72 spindles in the volume. (I certainly
wouldn’t use a raid group of 72 though!)

Subject: RAID Group Size Limits?
Does anyone on the list have experience
with RAID group size limits?
I seek to convert my qty
5 small volumes for Oracle into qty 2 volumes (one big, one little) for oracle
and use lots of spindles. In fact, I’d like to just do a big, giant
volume on my filer and put everything in qtrees shared/exported.
Anyone out there done
this yet? Hit any RAID size limits?
Thx;
