So, Jared, are you auditioning for Louis Rukeyser's job? 8-)
Lisa can probably explain better, but as I recall, BCV is something Backup Control Volumes. It's a third mirror that can be split off from the other two and used for a cold backup (e.g. shutdown Oracle database, split BCVs from the mirror set, restart Oracle (this takes like 5 minutes or less); run cold backup at your leisure). Then they can be re-attached to the mirrored disks at any time and the BCVs are synchronized with the mirrored disks automagically. Right Lisa?

Ok, does someone one to define SRDF and BCV for those of us that don't have any idea what you're talking about?
