We use SAME and all files are located under /oracle/orarata/sid
 
However, we are contemplating on moving archived logs to a less
expensive HW.

Subject: Separating online redo logs from database files



Hello, listers

 

What are general pros and cons on separating redo logs from database
files? Both database and redologs are already residing on RAID1 volumes.
So this separation would only mean - move redo logs to separate mount
point (RAID1, still).

 

We have EMC consultant insisting that it is in line with best practices.
Why exactly is it a good thing, what "best practice" actually means - he
can't say. 

 

Our systems are moderately used OLTP databases. I we had lots of waits
on redo log writes (and we don't), I would understand moving redo logs
to flash drives (for example). Or, as I have seen previously, database
goes to RAID5 and redo logs to RAID1 - depends a lot on database usage,
etc. etc.

 

Actual real life inputs are welcome.

 

Regards,

Vladimir Barac
