What I ended up doing is somthing like this. vol2 is all the .14, .10 and .2 spindles, vol1 is all the .13, .9 and .1 spindles. vol 4 is just the .12 and .8 spindles (smaller), vol0 (root volume) is 3 of the .0 spindles, and four of the .0 spindles are spares.
Thanks for the responce Skottie, one more question: how did you configure vol0 to use 3 of the .0 spindles? By default, vol0 is created on 2.0 and 2.1. I'd like to have vol0 on, say, 2.0 and 3.0.
I moved it. If you can handle a bit of downtime, you can create a new vol0, copy stuff, change it to the new root volume, reboot. or physicially move the spindle; drives don't know what slot they are in. If you can't handle downtime, you can "move" the volume by doing somthing like this: - make sure that the only spare disk is 3.0 - disk fail 2.1, forcing it to rebuild onto 3.0 - after it rebuilds, disk unfail 2.1
you might want to turn of autosupport as you're failing disks, otherwise you'll open extra support calls.
