My fault, I didn't read what I wrote. The recommendation from HP is: a. RAID 1 (shadowing) for REDO and ARCHIVE LOG datafiles. b. RAID 0+1 (striping+shadowing) for all other files including control files and , TEMP, USER and SYSTEM datafiles. All application data should go here as well. c. It is strongly recommended that RAID 5 should not be implemented for Oracle database instances. It has a detrimental impact on overall performance. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Stephen Murphy Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 12:46 PM To: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: Oracle 9.2 setup If you put all your redo and control files on a raid 0 and that drive stops, so does your DB.

However, the HP reps are recommending 1 volume raid 0 for redo and archive logs and all the data and control files on the raid 10 volume. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Birkir Bjornsson Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 11:10 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Oracle 9.2 setup Hi Im setting up Oracle 9.2 on Windows 2003, the machine is a Blade Server connected to a SAN diskbox with 14x36GB disk. I was thinking setting this disks up as one Volume with Raid 10 that is stripe it over the disk and then mirror it. Doesnt that give me the best I/O performance? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
