Storage Configuration
I have a question to the experienced users, how to configure my database storage.
I'd like to install an oracle database on a single server, 11g2 on OEL 6.3. It is an HP Server with RAID controller and 6 disks. I use 2 disks as RAID1 for the OS, so I have 4 disks for the whole database.
In the install guides I found the following recommendations for ASM:
- use 2 disk groups (data and recovery area)
- have 4 disks in each group
- use hardware RAID for mirroring
I sea these options to setup the storage, which one is the best:
- Setup two RAID1 Volumes with the RAID controller, use each Volume for a ASM disk groups with external redundancy (separate disk group for data and recovery area)
