A quick survey.
When you, as the DBA, are allowed to specify to the Storage team the
filesystem (volume)
sizes you want for Databases, what standards do you use ?
eg for a database of less than 100GB, volumes of 10GB to 20GB each
for a database of 100GB to 1TB, volumes of 100GB or 200GB each ....
If the Storage team set's up default volumes [without referring to you]
what sizes do they
give you ?
I would like "smaller" volumes [eg each mount point between 10% to 20% of
the total size,
thus 5 to 10 mount points] for the database files [of course, still using
some standard
sizes, eg 20GB [for the 100GB databases] across servers. This allows
flexibility
in relocating datafiles etc.
If the underlying storage actually creates one large Mega-LUN, do you
still care
about the sizes of the mount points.
As an additional question, do you standardize mount-point names ?
eg /orasys for the RDBMS binaries
/oradata1 ... /oradata10 for the database files
/redo for the Redo Logs
/archlogs for the ArchiveLogs
etc
