Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RAID 5/Oracle
The A1000 has a max of 12 disks.
I would recommend against Raid 5 for performance reasons, although the
write-back cache covers some of the drawbacks.
A1000 is knowned to have slow cache, and consistency errors when they are pushed to the brink of saturation.
But yes, Raid 5 with 4 disks will come up as a single volume (device), which you can make into as many mount points as you like.

We are planning to move our database to Sun 4500 with A1000(RAID 5).Our system admin group has been working on this setup and I was told that the A1000 which is having 4 disks will be seen as just as one mount point after configuration.Is this the correct way of confuguration.Don't we see each disk of A1000 as different mount point.
Thanks
