Pardon my confusion but I am a bit lost as to what you're saying and what
you want to accomplish. First of all I'm curious as to why you want to
configure 4 x RAID1 arrays on your system. Secondly I'm curious as to what
type of RAID controller you have with the system. Does it support and allow
4 RAID arrays? Do you have more than 1 RAID controller? Can you expand on
the requirements needed for this database server? What are the drive specs,
type and size?
