By the way, when I was doing production DBA work, the
process for setting up RAID or mirroring or anything like
that was much simpler:
1. Go on daily Caribou Coffee run with sys-admin
2. Explain what I wanted over cappaccinos and lattes
3. He would get it done
I really miss having a good sys-admin to work with.
