The dump files can't span multiple volumes but can span multiple disks.  Our
dump volume consists of, depending on the system, 3 to 4 drives.  We
configure two dump files on each volume so I know they are spaning the
drives.  We've been using this setup for about 3 years now and have not had
any problems with our dumps.

Have you actually tried dumping the system to dumpfiles that span multiple
volumes?  I know you can create the dump files such that they span.  But I
didn't think that the dump process actually worked correctly when spanning
multiple drives.  So far I've never found anybody that has actually tried
and done this....
