Hi Rob,

no matter what you do. If some important piece is failing you are out of uptime.

What you want is "shared nothing".
2 complete identical boxes.
If there is a problem/update one is down, the other is running.

Harddisc are becoming cheaper and cheaper

Doing this for > 12 years now with a good sleep at night.

kind regards,

Toni

PS: i do not handle terrabytes, but mission critical

PPS: ... just playing around with Oracle 10g with 100 GB database on a 1,5 GHz box.
