I am trying to work out the best options for speed and data protection for the following system:

Solaris V880 with 6 internal 72 gb disks on one controller (I know this will be a single point of failure)

I want to load the Oracle software and have a database of 40gb and have space for archive logs (10gb). I was considering the following:

(a) 1 root disk containing Solaris 9 and Oracle mirrored (2 disks)
(b) 1 disk for archive logs and backups and host spare pool standalone
(1disk)
(c) 3 disks for the database using Raid 5 with hot spares from (a) (3
disks)

Does this look a bad idea to anyone or are there better ways of doing it

with the configuration available

Thanks for any ideas Received on Thu Feb 13 2003 - 10:38:42 CST
