Re: ASM mirroring, which is good?

I have been exchanging a few messages with Kevin Closson on a topic very similar to this, and I look forward to what he has to say. Basically, I think it comes to an issue of theory versus practice. Your observation about a lack of performance problems "as is" sets the stage appropriately. I assume you are mirroring on the back-end, right (hence the external redundancy). You want to mirror at ASM on top of hardware mirroring? In theory, that would degrade performance. In practice, you not might see any difference. Really depends on what you are doing.

Striping, on the other hand, is a completely different story. *grin*
