How is ORACLE (v7.1.6) best configured on RAID5? What is ORACLE performance like on RAID5 compared to a conventional implementation over multiple disks? Should ORACLE's online redo log files and control files be mirrored on RAID5? Should ORACLE's archivelog mode be switched on at all (as RAID5 protects data from loss)? Would it be best to have a mix of RAID5 and non RAID disks so that log and control files can physically exist in 2 places? Where should Oracle Finacials out and log files be placed given a mix of RAID5 and non-RAID disks?

I will soon have to install ORACLE (7.1.6) and Oracle Financials (release 10.5) on an IBM SP2 AIX box with 14 GB of RAID5.

Thanks
