RE: DISK LAYOUT

Well I think it's time for you to start reading papers discussing OFA
(Optimal Flexible Architecture).

http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/linux_816/unixdoc/a82848/a82846/a ppa_ofa.htm

The above link is for the LINUX OFA document, but the concepts are the same, and you will probably find one specific to your platform simply by searching at http://otn.oracle.com

Regarding RAID - there is a good paper (already mentioned on the list lately) by Gaja at www.quest.com

P.S. Actually, thinking about it - you already asked this? How about having a read as people have already suggested? There is only a finite amount that we can put in to an email (hey - we all have to work too!).

Hi,
We have to performance benchmark test for our application . We have to check only scalibiliy and performance and not much concern for reliablity.
We have 10 36G hard disks(Fiber Channel array) and 2 18G(Internal boot disks).....4 400MHZ cpu's....
Expected database size is 250G..
1) Which raid level to use ...only for performance so may be no mirroring......
2) did i have to split hard disks on 2 sets for indexes and tables or single set of RAID 0 etc...
3) Where to place the log files , control files, oracle software , OS , tablespaces - System , Users(tables) , Temp, Indx (Indexes) , Rbs , Tools.

Thanks
-Harvinder
