Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle Performance in Unix machine with hardware Raid 5
Raid 5 will degrade performance, not many mount points.
You will have contention, but that is not because of mount points or because of the lack of them. It is due to the fact that everything is running on the same set of disks.
Raid 5 takes a big hit on performance, but if that is your only option, you need to see if write performance is suitable enough for what you are trying to accomplish. Although Raid 5 is very slow on write performance, it may be enough to accomplish what you are trying to do as it's read perfomance is good.

Hi Guru,
We will be implementing Oracle in unix machine with Hardware Raid 5. We can't implement Raid 1 as we do not have sufficient disk space.
Initially, we thought of having many mount points .ie. 1 mount point for data files, another for index files, other mount points for redo log, control file, archive log etc. The vendor consultant told us that having many mount points may degrade the system performance. Is it true ? We've decided to have different directories for data files, index files etc but I am still worry about data contention.
Any advice ? Thanks.
Regds,
new bee
