Ah, we will be using SAN – no local disks involved.

Hello Deborah and List, good afternoon
I'm not sure if talking about only PE will be enough to your question, because
you can use local disk or SAN for example.
BTW, you can see another good functionality when talking about RHEL6, tuned.
With tuned you can set your server according " templates" or just create your
personal configuration according your necessity.
Bellow a default sample:
[root@rhel01 abrt]# tuned-adm list
Available profiles:
- throughput-performance
- spindown-disk
- virtual-host
- default
- laptop-ac-powersave
- laptop-battery-powersave
- server-powersave
- virtual-guest
- desktop-powersave
- enterprise-storage
- latency-performance
Current active profile: default
[root@rhel01 abrt]#
and all related configuration are stored in /etc/tune-profiles
If you need some help, just reply!
Take Care

We need to migrate our various Oracle servers (database, warehouse, web server)
from RHEL 5 to 6, so have started testing. One difference I noticed on the
install is that RHEL 5 defaults the LVM physical extent size to 32 MB, while
RHEL 6 defaults it to 4 MB. With RHEL 5 I just went with the default size, but
now that I see a different default for 6, I’m wondering if one is better than
the other in terms of Oracle? I did find some sites which mentioned that
Oracle frequently requires a specific LVM extent size for better IO
performance, but I can’t find anything specific in Oracle documentation, MOS,
etc that refers to this. Does anyone know what extent size is preferred for
the various Oracle setups (database, warehouse, etc), or what documentation
would at least specify this? Or does it differ depending on your environment?
TIA for any info!
Deborah
