Oracle OK with RAID5 volumes ?

Good Day All



We currently run Oracle 7 with forms on a Sun Solaris 2.4 system.
We are planning to move onto new Sun hardware running Solaris 2.6.



Does Oracle still require a large number of individual disks for good
IO distribution ? Or could we use a RAID5 approach on the new system ?
I had in mind to use an 8 - 10 disk RAID volume for the majority; with 
a few physical disk partitions for raw devices.



Advice would be welcome



Regards



Jim
