Hi, we are about to instal 10g RAC on AIX box on a SAN with raw disks.
My questions concerns where to place the redo logs. I am sure we cannot put them on raw disks as I can;t see how we can move them to a file system directory for archiving?
Has others set up 10g on raw and how they have places their redo logs, was it on a file system or raw?
Thanx

My redo logs are on raw devices. I have made a couple of tests to put them on the file system or raw devices and it looks that I get a better performance in the second case. The same case is with the DB2 database we have - it does better if it's install on raw.
I have a lot of transactions avarage 3500/sec, but very little rollbacks - a lot of writes, much less reads.
At least this is my experience.
When archived, the files can be moved automatically for you- depend where you are going to specify your archiving directory.
good luck.mj
