We have some big EMC systems - they aren't perfect either! I've had: - databases crash due to scsi bus errors that emc couldn't explain (it was an emc problem, the same exact scsi error occured on several systems at the exact same time) - 30 min outages for microcode updates that turned into 4 hours - lost a 4 port scsi board in the emc box taking systems down
Our emc sales rep insists that they've never lost data. Maybe . . . but I don't see where it's any less vulnerable to double- disk failures than any other raid system.
