Specification for a minimal installation or testing platform
With 8 * 146Gb drives in a Raid 5 configuration, there is approximately 800GB of usable space. The server disks should be configured as a RAID 5 array and partitioned as follows:
Partition | Approx. Size | Purpose | Mount point |
1 | 20 GB | Operating System |
|
2 | 20 GB | Paging |
|
3 | 400 GB | Database files | /u01 or c:/u01 Referred to below as $database |
4 | 200 GB | Application installations and file data | /u02 or c:/u02 Referred to below as $app |
5 | 100 GB | Archive Log space | /archive or c:/archive |
Notes: All file system path names are written using a forward slash ‘/’ directory separator. On Windows forward and back slashes are considered to be equivalent, though there are still a few areas where back slashes must be used.
