zfs file system [message #636484]

My whole db is stored under '/oradb/TESTDB' which is nearly 350 GB is size.

I have zfs filesystem and I have allocated only one zfs pool for the file system '/oradb/TESTDB'.

Now please tell me whether creating two separate zfs pools for data files & redo log file path will increase the overall system performance.?

If so what are all the metrics I need to check before and after creating separate zfs pools?

Thanks

I can think of no reason why separate pools would increase performance. I would think that just one pool, striped across as many disks as possible, would be optimal. What do you think?

no change if you make more than 1 pool.

post SQL & results that show disk I/O is a system bottleneck.

>Now tell how we can spilt?

It appears that you are fixated on a solution in search of a problem.

post SQL & results that demonstrate a problem actually exits.

Please provide me the sql commands to take during high IO activity related to zfs filesystem.

I will take and provide you the results.

If you want to calibrate the I/O rates on your hardware, use the ORION tool or dbms_resource_manager.caibrate_io. They are both documented in chapter 17 of the DB Performance Tuning Guide.
