If you're used to AIX with its logical volume manager and disk mirroring, then you may want to install the logical volume manager available for Linux. I've never used it under Linux so I don't know if it supports mirrored disks the way AIX does. A raid controller that supports mirrored disks and hot swapable devices may be the way to go.
