Re: OFA Architecture with RAID

Hi,

I will suggest putting everything on RAID 5 except the online redo log that should be put on mirror disks (Raid 1) on differents physical drives.

On the Raid 5 array, you can try to apply the OFA layout; thew problem is that (as I know) there's nothing oficially written about OFA for NT.

I've read that Oracle Consulting have something about it and in the courses about Oracle on NT, Oracle Education give some info about it too (in the US only !).

There`s some adaptation available on the Web (on sites like OAUG or IOUG-A (memberships req.) or some others (I don`t have the URL here), but none seems to have the "Oracle seal of approval"

E-mail me if you need more info,
