G'day to all, we are planning to install Oracle database and Financial and
HRMS modules on an HP 9000 model 800 K410/4 with 1.2GB memory. The disk
subsystem consists of a 17 x 4GB disk array unit. It has been proposed to
configure the disk subsystem to a single Raid5 disk of 56GB with two hot
stand-by disks. We are a bit concerned with the potential IO bottleneck to
configure the subsystem as one disk. Would anyone out there have used a one
single MASSIVE (56GB) disk configuration? Would IOs to the disk become a
major bottleneck? If so, would it be better to configure the subsystem into
4 or 5 smaller disks?
TIA for any help.
