• Best RAID for ESX 3.5 Configuration

  Hi all.

  I was wondering, what is the best configuration of RAID for ESX 3.5 performance?

  I have a HP DL360 G5 Proliant with several SAS drives.

  It will be better to make a RAID 5 o RAID1?

  Thank you!

  There is no best RAID for ESX. Depends on VM disk usage profile - so if you plan to install SQL server and then create RAID appropriate for SQL server.

• Recommendation of RAID for Equallogic iSCSI SAN?

  We look at a Dell/Equallogic PS6000E with 16 drives of 1 TB, it connects to our servers ESX 2-3 (about 15 virtual machines running) and to a SQL cluster (mainly a SharePoint service workload size).  Dell recommends RAID5, which would give us ~ 12 useful to.  Frankly, if we had used 8TB, that would be fine.  Any recommendations for the best RAID for Equallogics level?

  Thank you

  Chad

  If you can really just 8 to, I must say raid 10...   Reference Dell suggests always raid 5 no matter what.

  Now best practices is to create several groups of disks with different raid levels for the taste of storage at your fingertips.

  You are going to have to make some calls to judgment on how to implement.     I suggest you test conversions PtoV tour and play with the config some before deciding, but I know that it is now possible in most cases.

  Dell has an excellent white paper on the table.  It's for the MD3000i, but the raid types and most other info still apply to the DAS or san during raids.

• Upgradation OS for RAC

  Hi guys... How is everything...
  
  I have the node CCR on Windows2003R2 Itaniam. I need to know is there any procedure for upgradation OS for RAC... I mean I'm going to the bottom of the Cluster & when the OS database places a gradation.

  Hello

  you need not stop the entire base.
  Upgrades of the OS can be in upgradeable mode (so one node after another), you must stop the instance and the clusterstack on the node, you perform the upgrade.

  Policies to support Oracle to launch of the CARS with different versions of an operating system within a period of 24 hours.
  In other words: after completing the upgrade of the first node you have 24 hours to what your other nodes must be at the same level of the new OS.

• Storage shared by NFS for RAC

  Hello

  I intend to set up a node 2 CARS. However, I have only the internal drive to use and no SIN /SAN. So I intend to share some of the ability of alternatives I have on the internal nodes 1 & 2 discs and make shared storage using NFS. However I have a few questions about it.

  Q1. Since the NFS mount will indeed be file system media, this means that for the storage for the Cluster option and the RAC database that I can only use option 'shared file system' and not 'ASM '?

  I think what is confusing me is that I think that I read that the ASM disks can be complete physical disks, partitions of a disk, SAN LUNS or NFS?

  If this is the case then it suggests that I can create an ASM disk based on a NFS mount?

  I don't know how to do this - any help / advice would be appreciated because ideally, I would have preferred to create candidate ASM disks based on the shared NFS disk

  Thank you

  Jim

  You can use NFS as your clustered file system, but if you want to use ASM we top of the page so it no problem: dd to create large files on the file system shared, for example,

  If DD \u003d/dev/zero of = / mnt/nfs/asmdisk1 bs = 1048576 count = 2048

  and set your asm_diskstring parameter to point to them (or specify them as devices to be used at installation time). It is very easy to set up and is fully supported by Oracle of the uncle. I recorded a few demos that include this a year or two before, Oracle ASM free tutorial

  Start it as seems to be available on the other node, tell the user of ASM:

  Start SQLplus / as sysdba (or sysasm)

  SQL > ALTER DISKGROUP MOUNT;

  See if it works, if not: post the result.

  Success!

  What other RAC DBA must have ROOT access to?

  AllYourDataBase wrote:

  In other words, you must either trust your DBA to not be malicious / inept and accept the fact that they have root access, or not give them sudo and form your system administrators to manage the grid infrastructure.

  Agree.

  On all databases, that I never managed, even in the era of mainframe, was my sysadmin/root access in order to exercise my DBA functions. Often service waiting too for sysadmin is not available. Similarly, the sysadmin also often held in a DBA when I'm on vacation or unavailable.

  It is a partnership - both parties have the same goals and objectives. A stable and robust and functional environment.

  Set up the walls between these parties on behalf of the so-called security policy? My point is that will be invariable cause more problems than what it addresses. And I've seen it in other departments - where a minor problem takes several days to resolve due to the wall (and distrust) between sysadmin and s/n, regardless of the amount of paperwork needed to get real results as the responsibility and accountability are ignored by both parties.

• Silent, quick config RAID for Mac Pro DAW

  I'm looking for ideas for storage configuration for my Mac Pro ' 09. This is the heart of a campus radio station / recording studio. The machine is a beast, and it serves my purposes very well. That said, the storage on board certainly needs an upgrade. Recently, I ran DriveDx to check the health of disks, and several of them are almost 30,000 hours. Right now, we lack a RAID 0 2 x WD RE3 750 GB (circa 2009) and 2 x Seagate 750Go (to 2008). Disks run without problem, but they are relatively slow and old (max ~100MB/s WD; ~75MB/s Seagate). In addition, I'm really not comfortable running a raid interlaced offshore of different styles of hard drives.

  I am looking to buy four new disks. Here's my wish list:

  Minimum of 1 TB of capacity

  Optimized RAID

  Reliable

  Quiet

  Relatively fast

  Not horribly expensive

  Does anyone have advice? I've been looking around for a while, but it has been difficult to find a good combination of these features. Or, if you have any other ideas I'm open to that as well. Thank you!

  Mac Pro 4.1

  2.26 GHz 4 x 2

  32 GB OF RAM

  3 x GeForce GT 120

  You can install one or more SSD Drives slightly faster than the 375 M bytes/s supported by the drive bays and get excellent results and not need a RAID at all.

• Re: Need driver XP SATA/RAID for Satellite Pro U400

  Hi all

  I've searched and searched, but I can't for the life of me find suitable driver to install XP on my machine. It came pre-installed with Vista which is useless to me because of the instability, bugs, just be a poor OS. I got the new laptop for a week now and have not been able to use again, so it would really appreciate someone pointing me in the direction of SATA/RAID drivers for XP.

  Thank you!
  E.g.

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro U400 needs a SATA driver, and you can find it in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager package.

  This storage manager can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page (see the series of portable different) or you can also download it from the Intel site.

  The SATA driver must be installed during XP Setup process. You must press the F6 key to include a 3rd party (SATA driver) from the external USB floppy drive.

  If you don t have a floppy drive, then you could create a clean XP CD with SATA driver. NLite freeware software can be useful for these jobs

  My advice is; Google a bit for nLite for more details.

  Good bye

  Hello

  I think that you don t need all the RAID drivers.
  As much as I know A300 does not support RAID capacity.

  Your laptop supports the SATA interface, and I assume that you will install the SATA driver.

• 16 disks table PS5000 Sata - Raid for better performance and more capacity

  Good afternoon all

  I studied the whims of the various raid options and I was wondering if anyone has any practical idea using tables PS5000 SATA?  Basically, the table will backup disks to virtual machines as well as Raid would be preferable for the performance and capacity?  I was thinking 50 Raid or Raid 6, that the table is at a distance of my office in one data center so that there could be 2 failures before the disaster...

  Thank you very much

  Eric

  Hi Eric,.

  'best' depends entirely on the expected I/O model.  Small random writes should use R10.  RAID50 is usually a good compromise on space and performance.  But it has the risk of a double RAIDset faillée down.

  Another factor is that the PS5000 is end of life.  No support, firmware or parts of long term.  Help to off the shelf drives add uncertainty to the reliability of the table.   I would never use one of these for primary production so data.  To provide the best protection in this case, I would use only RAID6.   R10 would be down, but may suffer and failed with two failed disks in the mirror of the same value.

  Kind regards

  Don
