It´s a great solution
For example, with linux lvm you can resize a volume, or add a new one,
doing it online.
Could you evaluate a trial before decide it ? my suggestion..

Hey all,
Migrating from AIX to OL7 (x86-64) under VMware with an all-flash SAN, and
I'm planning out the logical volumes for database filesystems (non-ASM).
I'm now questioning whether or not to use LVM, even for filesystems. If I
need to add datafiles without LVM, the Storage Manager adds a new virtual
disk to the server, and I create a new mountpoint and set security on it.
Easy.
In AIX with XIV storage, there was a minimum ~17GB allocation per LUN, so
there was space savings in using LVM to group together small control files,
redo logs, etc. Not being a vSphere person, I don't know if this is the
case there as well.
Any opponents/proponents for/against LVM for Oracle database virtual
servers?
Thanks,
Rich
p.s. This will be for Oracle EE 12.2 and (hopefully someday) higher
databases.
