Oracle and RAID

I've got an IBM RS/6000 J30 with a 7135 RAID unit configured as (4) 5-disk RAID
with 5 LUNS. Running AIX 4.1.4 and Oracle 7.1 and 7.1.6. I'm considering reconfiguring the 7135 as (2) 10-disks LUNS using RAID 1 to try and improve performance. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

The only "performance" advice that the 7135 manual gives is setting the segment size equal to the typical I/O size. Since we using an 8kb Oracle block size should I set the segment size to (16) 512-byte blocks (the default is 512 512-byte blocks)?

Thanks in advance,
