Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Drive Configuration
Hey I like your configuration, but I do hear that RAID 5 (hardware
controlled) is pretty awesome. Can't wait to see what all the DBA's say.

Subject: Drive Configuration
I was asked by some hardware people of my suggested drive configuration for a 5 drive configuration.
I recommended the following:
Drive 1 - Oracle database software Drive 2 - System tablespace, control file_1, online redo log files Drive 3 - Roll back (RBS) tablespace, Temp tablespace, control file_2 Drive 4 - Data tablespace, control file_3 Drive 5 - Index tablespace, archived log files
I thought this would optimize the performance of small transactions and small queries. I also thought it would optimize I/O performance by distributing the tablespaces. The database is for a Cold Fusion web site where there will be mostly reads but plenty of writes.
They disregarded this configuration and decided to go with a raid-5 with everything on the single raid for recoverability. I caved in and said ok. Were they right?
Sincerely,
Woody
