I need help on how to setup hardware raid for ASM.

In the « Recommendations for Storage Preparation” section in the following documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmprepare.htm
It mentions:
--Use the storage array hardware RAID 1 mirroring protection when possible to reduce the mirroring overhead on the server.
Which is a good raid 1 configuration considering my machine setup?
“I put my Machine info below.”
Should I go for something like:
5 * raid 1 of 2 disks in each raid: disk group DATA
5 * raid 1 of 2 disks in each raid: disk group FRA
Then ASM will take care of all the striping between the 5 raids inside a disk group right?
OR, I go for:
1 * raid 1 of 10 disks: disk group DATA
1 * raid 1 of 10 disks: disk group FRA
In the second configuration, does ASM recognize that there are 10 disks in my raid configuration and stripes on those disks? Or to use ASM striping, I need to have lots of raid in a disks group?
Here is my Machine Characteristics:
O/s is Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.5 64 bit
Single instance on Enterprise Edition 10g r2
200 GIG database size.
High "oltp" environment.
Estimated growth of 60 to 80GIG per year
50-70GIG archivelogs generation per Day
Flashback time is 24 hours: 120GIG of flashback space in avg
I keep a Local backup. Then push to another disk storage, then on tape.
General Hardware Info:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
16 GIG RAM
2 * 64 bit dual core CPU's
6 * local 300G/15rpm disks
Additional Storage:
Dell PowerVault MD1000
15 * 300G/15rpm Disks
So I have 21 Disks in total.

I would personally prefer the first configuration and let ASM stripe the disks. Generally speaking, many RAID controllers will stripe then mirror (0+1) when you tell it to build a striped and mirrored RAID set on 10 disks. Some will mirror then stripe (1+0) which is what most people prefer. That's because when a 1+0 configuration has a disk failure, only a single RAID 1 set needs to be resync'd. The other members of the stripe won't have to be resynchronized.
So, I'd prefer to have ASM manage 5 luns and let ASM stripe across those 5 luns in each disk group. It also increases your ability to reorganize your storage if you need 20% more info in DATA and can afford 20% less in FRA, you can move one of your RAID 1 luns from FRA to DATA easily.
That's my 0.02.

  • I need help. How to export split track for Final Cut Pro 7 Thanks

    I need help. I have edited a film and now the company I have made the film for want a split track of it. I have no idea how to export a split track off Final Cut Pro 7 and I need simple language to explain it to me as I am a beginner. Thanks

    I assume you have multiple tracks of audio? And the audio is distributed discretely over these tracks (sync sound on tracks 1 and 2, sound effects on tracks 3 and 4, music on tracks 5 and 6 for example)?
    Then duplicate your sequence by clicking on the icon for your sequence in the FCP browser and control-clicking on it. From the drop-down menu choose Duplicate. Double click on the duplicate sequence you just created to load it to the timeline and canvas.
    Now, working on the copy you just made of your finished sequence, click anywhere on the timeline, and type Command + 0 {zero} to bring up your sequence settings. Click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
    Once the Audio Output Tab opens, set the Outputs to the desired number of discrete tracks you want to export - in this case I will set it to 8, as I have sync sound on tracks 1 & 2, Voice Over on tracks 3 & 4, Sound Effects on tracks 5 & 6 and Music on tracks 7 & 8.
    Once I do that the 8 tracks appear. I set them all to Dual Mono as I want them to be discrete tracks:
    Once I am done, I click OK and return to the far left side of the timeline where the audio selectors are, and carefully control - clicking in the empty space above the lock symbol,
    From the drop down menu I assign the output of each track - track 1 to to output track 1, track 2 to output track 2, doing so to each track:
    You need to set the output for each track. Once all my track assignments are done, I go to the menu File > Export . . . > QuickTime Movie and export my sequence, but now it is exporting with 8 discrete tracks of audio.
    To do a quick check that everything is OK, re-import the movie you just exported back into FCP, and open it in the Viewer and you will see that it does indeed have the multi-tracks, as 8 mono track tabs appear at the top of the viewer.
    Now give that QuickTime a name that includes "Split Tracks" in the title and copy it to your delivery drive.

  • Upgrading hard drive... need help on how to prepare current CS6 for reinstall on new hard drive

    I'm about to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one and will need to reinstall my CS6 Web/Design Suite... I've seen many people having issues with activation and licensing after they reformat their computers or buy a new one and try to install the programs on the new "system". How should I go about preparing my Adobe software on the current hard drive so I won't have any issues resintalling on the new hard drive? I will be installing CS6 Student/Teacher version on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit...
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks!
    I wondered if that was all I needed, but when I built my new system and installed PS CS4 I kept getting errors. So, I went back to the old system and deactivated it and still got errors. Uninstalled it deactivated and still got errors on the new system. When I talked to Adobe they just kept telling me the key was invalid (even though I had been running that same program and key for the last 4 years without problems lol) and it was not a burnt copy or pirated. I had the orginal box with the original DVD case and serial number on the case... A friend of mine had upgraded their rig and went to a Suite so he gave me his CS4. But, needless to say (as it is said all over these forums apparently) Adobe was of no help at all so I had to buy a new version. I'm not looking to go through all of that BS again, haha.
    So as long as I deactivate the Suite (or do I need to deactivate each program separately?) I should be able to reformat (or upgrade hard drives) and reinstall CS6 as many times as I want? (I usually do a reformat like once a year to keep my computers clean and free of junk that may have been downloaded by other household members...)

  • I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

    I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
    Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
    For example:
    Buy A, B, C to achieve "X" 
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add D to achieve "Y"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add "E" to achieve "Z"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme.  For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice?  Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that?  And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why?  Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel  or sit on the couch in my PJs?
    If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
    I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy. 
    A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

    I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
    No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
    Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
    What business software?
    Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
    Update what across all devices?
    For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
    Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
    Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
    The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
    Best of luck.

  • HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

    Hi Aaron,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried with Payload zip bean and the java mapping as mentioned in the response mapping of OM.
    Payload zip bean - Zip  zip.mode  unzip
    I am getting the error below in the receiver rest channel -
    "Transmitting the message using connection JPR failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleException: Zip: error occured during processing: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid stored block lengths"
    Java Mapping - used the java mapping in the response of Operation mapping
    Here also i am seeing the same error in the channel log as it is synchronous step and the message got cancelled.
    "Transmitting the message using connection JPR failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error encountered while executing mapping: com.sap.aii.af.service.mapping.MappingException: Mapping failed in runtimeApplication mapping program com/equalize/xpi/esr/mapping/java/UnzipAndAttach throws a stream transformation exception: Exception: invalid stored block lengths"
    The below is the response i am seeing and is it proper zip response payload(any encryption) , kindly advise.
