I assume you're talking about using ASM disk groups with hardware
striping and then striping again within ASM?

 

HP has a paper on this at:

_Practices_White_Paper_final%20121806.pdf

 

Obviously this is using their hardware but it deals with double striping
and their findings.

 

I haven't checked the stats for our systems, but I don't believe I would
ever be opposed to implementing something that would allow additional
throughput unless there were inherent risks that outweighed the
increases.

Subject: How much I/O service time?

 

For your busiest and most critical production systems, how much of total
database service time (Top 5 Timed Events in Statspack or ASH reports)
is I/O:  db file sequential read, db file scattered read, db file
parallel write?  

Some people at my shop want to move to double striping on the new server
we'll be moving to, on the grounds that we'll need it when volumes grow
from the current 2 or 3 million trades/day to as many as 10 million.  At
the moment, db file sequential read and db file parallel write typically
total about 15% of total database time, which I think is acceptable.  I
just need a reality check, so any info you can give me will be
appreciated.

Thanks,
