By all means consider your hardware failure scenaria; but for DB maintainance and isolation of problems, consider running all your servers on the same AIX hardware. I'm running 9 servers on my 630 now, and am finding it an absolute dream. I took one of my servers down, unloaded and reloaded the database, and nobody noticed! I'd be pleased to share the scripting and configuration bits I've done, though they're far from organized as a product. - Allen S. Rout
