Theres an excellant book "Oracle 8i Data Warehousing" ISBN 1555582052
that should help.
If you've got an E10K then you should look at partitioning it up so the DW doesn't eat into the OLTP space. A true DW has a separate DB for the data so it doesn't impact on the live systems. Also see Ralf Kimballs books.
