VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.0 for Oracle: Performance Brief

Tags:
storage management

Overview This paper details the high performance characteristics of VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.0 for Oracle (SFOR) in a 64-bit AIX 5.2 operating environment based on the results of benchmark tests. VERITAS Quick IO (QIO), VERITAS Concurrent IO (CIO), VERITAS Extension for Oracle Disk Manager (ODM), VERITAS Volume Manager, (VxVM) Raw I/O, IBM JFS2 CIO and IBM LVM Raw I/O were the primary I/O configurations tested. ODM is Oracle's Disk Manager and is designed to improve file management and maintain Raw Storage performance. VERITAS Extension for ODM interfaces into Oracle's ODM. Raw storage architecture in most cases delivers the best OLTP performance numbers in an Oracle environment but at the cost of file system manageability, disk space management and CPU loading.
