Oracle 7.1/Solaris 2.4/Sparc 1000E/Sparc RAID 100

We just brought up a new package with Oracle 7.1 as the database engine
running on Sparc 1000E, Solaris 2.4 with Sparc Storage Array 100.  The 
questions that I have related to what I have been told by our UNIX SA:



    
  
  1.  	The Sparc Storage Array 100 is not reliable to be used for 
mirroring.  We are thinking of mirroring all of Oracle database files 
using the RAID, but since that is what we are told, we are not using it. 
Anybody with experience with RAID 100?  The performance of using RAID 
100 is also bad, again as we are told.
  
  2.  	The hotswap feature does not work well?
  
  3.  	If one of the device is bad, manual intervention is required 
to change to the mirrored device?
  
  4.  	What happens to Oracle if (3) is true?  Does DBA need to bounce
Oracle?  How does Oracle react to this?






Anybody with answers to these questions, please let me know or call me
at 818-354-0920 or leave me your name and phone and I will call you.



Thank you very much.
