We'll be receiving our HP 2CPU-K420 with a model 20 HP RAID arry + extra cache controller in a couple of weeks. Someone here mentioned to "read the books" on how to configure oracle for best performance on such a system, so I checked "the books" (read: the oracle manuals"), but none of them even contained the phrase "RAID" or "mirroring" (except for redo logs) in the indices. Can anyone point me to a better source of information on this topic?

Thanks very much in advance,

Uwe.
