Oracle7.3.2/EMC Storage Implementation

Hi All,

Recently our organization purchased EMC storage system and we are in the process of migrating our oracle 7.3.2 databases on sun solaris 2.5.1 with external disk packs to this EMC storage systems(model 5700)and thus getting rid off external disk packs.

It will be a RAID-1 storage system.

Our dilemma is how to get the best of this setup for performance as well as fault tolerance.Where should oracle system stuff (system, users , tools, temp databases) reside ?on the host sun system or on EMC ? What architecture is
 recommended and used commonly and why ?Is it advisable to put  4-5 instances of oracle for 4-5 different applications on EMC ?  How does EMC handle this ? We are in the process of planning and testing various architectures of laying out a oracle  database on EMC.
Has anybody out there used this ? Is it good to put all these temps, redos, RBS for these instances on one EMC unit ? BTW, we do not run any application in archive log mode. out of these 4 databases we will be putting on EMC only one is of 100+ GB. Other are < 25 GB

Any feedback/suggestions will be most appreciated.

Regards,
Devendra
