I need to get some advice here about what RAID to use for Oracle 9i
database. I am a novice Oracle user.
I am building a database for about 600G. I am planning to use 2 logical
drives, one for storing files for data tablespace and one for index
tablespace. I am confused what to use for each logical drive. Should I use
RAID 1 or RAID 5 for the logical drive ?
I was told I should use RAID 1 for Database as it will have better
performance and redundancy even though it takes more physical drives to
form. But when I read books, it said the RAID 5 will have better
performance as the data will spread across different physical drives.
Please advise or point me to some site that I can find answer in a practical
sense.
Thanks.
