I can't give you a complete volume layout and what to put where, just some hints:

1. Put as many disks as possible in a RAID group
2. RAID 1+0 is best for safety/performance reasons but if you [Quoted] have only 10 disks and you need mirroring, RAID 5 might be acceptable too.
3. Redo logs should have their own disks, if not possible, they should have the fastest disks. Remember, everytime you write something into the DB it is also written to the redo logs.

On a production system you should also mirror your internal disk.
