Using Striped Mirrorsets for Highest
Performance and Availability
As illustrated in Figure 4–8, striped mirrorsets are simply stripesets whose members
are mirrorsets. Consequently, this kind of storageset combines the performance of
striping with the reliability of mirroring. The result is a storageset with very high I/O
performance and high data availability.
