Upgrade to 6920 - LUNS Question

Thanks everyone for help on our 3960 SAN problem earlier.

We are asking management to upgrade to 6920.

I have a question regarding LUNS.

Our oracle database server has 8 partitions on the 3960. Each array has 2 tray, each tray has 2 LUNs.

On the 6920, I read that the Volume (LUNs) now can strip across trays and arrays.

Which one is better for Oracle on the new 6920 (with 2 arrays=4trays=8 Virtual Disks.

Option 1.

1 Volume of 800G composes of 100G from each of the 8 Virtual Disks.

Option 2.

10 Volumes (/data1->/data10). each volume is a strip of 8ea 10G partition from the 8 virtual disks.

Are each Volume/LUN is an independent path? How fast is each LUN?

Thank you.
