Dick,

 

If your VP is in IT industry and still says that if disk has not failed
in last 3 years so it won't fail in next 3 year either, then he does not
deserve to be VP. 

 

One thing to remember is, if there is something which can go wrong, then
it will go wrong for certain at point in time. You just have to make
people aware of that failure and consequences. If they are willing to
take risk associated with it, then there is no problem in having a
single instance database either. If unplanned downtime is not
acceptable, then business needs to pay for that availability.
