Hi

Im setting a new Oracle Database solution to replace a old Oracle RAC on EVA8400.

After reading Oracle Databases on VMware vSphere 4 - Essential Deployment Tips i got a few question still needs answered.

Our new storage is a FAS 3240 7-Mode

We have a SATA and SAS aggregate and 1TB Flash cache available.

SAS 1  Raid Group (16 disks)

SATA 4  Raid Group (56 disks)

 

 

 

Whats the recommendations for Datastores and VMDK's?

From i can gather i need to create a volume dedicated to Oracle and present(NFS) it as Datastore for Oracle only.

And create VMDK's like this:

 

VMDK-1 OS from another Datastore

 

Oracle Datastore

VMDK-2 Oracle Binaries
VMDK-3 Oracle data
VMDK-4 Oracle Redo
VMDK-5 Oracle Archivelogs

 

I have 5 databases so 5 VM's where i create a volume with Datastore for each?

 

Would like input from the list how others have done it.
