Hello Everyone,

We are building up a system from scratch and wanted to follow the best
practices in setting up SAN Storage Array for ASM. With 22 disks in the
array for use, i was planning on doing 11 + 11 in Raid 1/0 setup with
maximum stripe possible within the array and carve out 3 x 2G LUNs for
vote_ocr and 2 x 1TB LUNs for both DATA and FRA diskgroup.  vote-ocr DGs
will use normal redundancy and database in external redundancy. This will be
on 11gR2 + Linux 5.5 + 4 node RAC cluster to house a mixed (70% oltp + 30%
DDS) workload application. Wondering if anyone have an opinion or best
practices generally implemented for these setups.

Thanks
Steven Andrew
