I have acquired a new server for my Oracle database. Te server is a Sun Fire V65x with RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 WS and 2Gb RAM.

Actually my database is installed on a Windows 200 Server, and the approximated size is: INDEX and USR TABLESPACE about 3Gb, SYSTEM and RBS 1Gb, and the rest 200Mb.

It will be my first Oracle installation on a Linux computer and I have few questions:

My Server has 2Gb Ram and 6x36Gb SCSI discs with a hardware RAID controller.

What is the best RAID and disk distribution to install Oracle with this hardware?

What is the best file layout in Linux (partitions)?

All recommendations are welcome.

I will also appreciate any suggest for the Oracle installation in my new computer. It will arrive in 2 days.

A lot of thanks,

Alex Bibiano
