Database Management White Papers

Implementing Oracle 10g RAC With ASM on AIX

Overview Prior to the release of Oracle Database Server 10g, database administrators had to choose between raw logical volumes or filesystems to house their data files. The decision to implement one or the other was always a compromise, as raw logical volumes offer the best performance, but filesystems are easier to administer. The choice of filesystems offers many features for the dba. Since the unit of storage allocation is a filesystem, and the filesystem is owned by the Oracle user, the DBA can allocate additional data files as needed. Oracle's autoextend feature can also be used to increase the space allocation for data files when necessary, and free space can be easily seen at the system level to be used with capacity planning tools.
