Hi,

I am looking for some basic suggestions / advice for setting up Oracle on an AIX RS/6000 using RAID. My initial plan included full disk mirroring at the OS level, but I'd like to move that to a RAID configuration and gain more usable disk space if possible.

I have heard tales that RAID 5 is bad for Oracle ... is this true?

Are there certain things that should or should not be included in the RAID arrays?

Thanks for the advice....

-Roy
