I have brief experience with an old Solaris/Oracle (8.1.7) system, the
performance was terrible the disks were never more than 50% utilised. The
CPU was the bottleneck due to the s/w RAID but it was also raid 5 for
everything !!. This also contributed to some data loss on specific hardware
failure (HBAs etc)
I hated it. They eventually upgraded their storage to a SAN.

David,
It occurs to me that you might receive better answers if you could give
your definition of software vs. hardware RAID. Is there a SAN involved? When
you say software RAID, do you mean you'll use Oracle to do the RAID
function, or Solaris? Also, this may be a question for the newsgroup
comp.unix.solaris.
