First of all, let me say I am new to both Solaris on Sparc and Oracle.
What is the best practice for installation of Oracle 8.1.7 on a
SUN E250 dual USII 400 Mhz, 2 GB RAM, (4) 9GB internal, (4) 36 GB in
a StorEdge D2 Array.
I learn very fast, but the only stipulations that the vendor has set
is the following, and I would like to know if anyone has a similar
setup or could help me make this work best in the long run.
First of all, my plan is to Mirror the internal drives disk 0 to disk
1 , disk 2 to disk 3, using Solstice DiskSuite 4.2.1 (we don't have
the budget for Veritas VxFS right now)
What is the best way to slice up the Solaris 8 OE (on the internal
disks) for Oracle ? Here is what my current plan based on my crash
course in Solaris ...
Disk 0 (8.43 GB, mirrored to Disk 1)
/ 2 GB
swap 4 GB
/var 2.43 GB (rest of disk)
/metadb1 25 MB (DiskSuite State database)
Disk 2 (8.43 GB, mirrored to Disk 3)
/app/$ORACLE_HOME 3 GB
/export/home 1 GB
/tmp 2 GB
/usr 1 GB
/opt 1.43 GB (rest of disk)
/metadb2 25 MB (Disk Suite State Database)
StorEdge D2 array (per the vendor's only recommendations)
Disk 8 ( 33.92 GB, mirrored to Disk 9)
/data1/home 1 GB (for specific vendor user scripts)
/data1/oradata 32.92 GB (rest of disk)
/metadb3 25 MB (Disk Suite State Database)
Disk 10 ( 33.92 GB, mirrored to Disk 11)
