Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Disk is cheap?
Depends on your equipment. If you are dealing with something like
Symetrix, you would need to do a 3 for 1 replacement. (Master, Mirror,
BCV). And size could be an issue depending on your microcode level of
the equipment. We had to do a microcode update prior to going to the
180G drives.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to replace each drive with a bigger one rather than buying all of the infrastructure related stuff? If you replace 8gb drives with 80gb drives you just saved 9 cabinets.

I beg to differ.
Each disk cost the disk price + 1/24 of the infrastructure costs.
