Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Configuring Oracle with RAID and OFA
Hi,
Dwayne I agree with Rachel's comments. In the past I have laid out databases
on RAID1+0, and there are some documents available indicating that this is
the disk layout of choice for databases. Now I am faced with SAN and no say
in how the disks are configured. So I have just created the normal set of
directories, so that I don't have all the files lumped together from a file
system perspective. Of course I would really like some separate disks for
online redo logs and the archive logs, but I am not going to get them!
Regards
Pete

With a single RAID-5 device, you can't place the database files on separate physical disks.
Having said that, just as a means of documenting the database, I would still generate an OFA-compliant set of directories and place the various database objects in the separate directories. You won't get any benefit of separating files (which may or may not be beneficial in any case) but you will be able to easily distinguish which files are which type and the database they belong to.
I presume that you, like me, have no say in how your disk system is configured?
