Hey all,
I know this as been brought up before, but I've been having some difficulty
finding specific reasons for/against RAID 10 on Oracle redo and control
files. Here's the info:
We're getting a SAN, whose initial use will be to house a few Oracle DBs.
I'm proposing that our ERP DB's layout include this:
Redo 01 2 drives, RAID 1
Redo 02 2 drives, RAID 1
Control 01 3 drives, RAID 1
Control 02 2 drives on server, RAID 1 (in case of SAN failure)
I've been asked to prove why the Redos shouldn't be RAID 10, because the
striping should allow for faster writes. I remember reading that this was
nullified by the sequential nature of the writes, but I can't remember where
I saw this.
Cary? Tim? Jonathon? Everyone else here that I forgot?
THX!
