Hi David,
Thanks for the detailed mail. One thing I tend to disagree is minimum 4 LUNs
per diskgroup recommendation. Isn't creating smaller LUNs, increases the
LUNs maintenance in the DG like having smaller datafiles for tablespaces. At
least that was the theory i had come up with fewer bigger LUNs within DG. As
all LUNs will be coming off of same RAID set, does it really matter having
smaller LUNs? I understand to increase the DG, i would need another TB, but
if database is NOT going grow beyond allocated space, it shouldn't be a
problem right.
Thanks,
Steven.
