Erik, you have my sympathy -- what a horrible experience.

For what it's worth, I set our boxes up with hardware mirrored drives,
and before an upgrade, I remove a drive from the CAM and at least one of
the CASs for quick restore of service should it all break loose. I know
it wasn't supported, but as it's a BIOS-level mirror, the OS doesn't
need to know about the RAID setup. This is on Proliant DL320s of about
2004 vintage...
