Re: redo log on veritas filesystem

We have migrated away from vxfs completely. (we are soon moving away from veritas as a whole) It has gotten to the point where the problems outweigh the costs and benefits with their software. I honestly have yet to see any shop where vxfs provided a measureable performance increase.

Right now all our databases use either raw or ufs with logging (solaris 9). Our SLES systems use ext3.

Most of the time you can alleviate I/O bottlenecks using better schema layout, better SQL, and better segregation of oracle objects onto different drive spindles. The performance gains in this regard are larger and cheaper than vxfs. (also remember, with vxfs that adds even more yearly recurring support costs and more skills you will need to employ) Received on Fri Mar 04 2005 - 09:05:10 CST
