1.no relationship bwt physical HD and library, it is a single adressing system, u can NOT xpecify HD, but HD will be grouped by ASP (Aux storage pool), which you can specify when u create a lib.
In IFS, you can create directory and share it as windows directory.
you can even create a storage block to install windows on it (if you have the Hardware).
and in i/5, you can install both OS/400 and AIX.
If you view PF as a file, lib is like directory
if you view pF as a table, lib is like oracle's database
2. PF=table
LF= view+index
3. it supports all types of Raid, Raid 5 is common, if one HD fail, that raid 5 set needs to rebuild. Most users are using 3rd party mirroring software, mimix, ODS, DM etc.
as/400 is a very sucessful commercial computer system, it has anything other system has, but just in a different way.
