Dear all,
currently I have a system in which all the files are scattered across different filesystem/partitions,
from the OS, the mount point is as follow
[root@chicago-db ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel_chicago--db-root 22G 3.3G 19G 16% /
devtmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev
tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 16G 25M 16G 1% /run
tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sdd 355G 301G 36G 90% /u01
/dev/sdg 355G 161G 176G 48% /u05
/dev/sde 355G 303G 34G 91% /u02
/dev/sdb 355G 303G 34G 90% /u04
/dev/sdf 355G 309G 28G 92% /u03
/dev/sdh 837G 483G 312G 61% /import2
/dev/sdc 1008G 89M 957G 1% /import
/dev/sda1 497M 120M 378M 24% /boot
from the db, the breakdown of database file size is as follow:
SYS@camden>SELECT substr(file_name,1,4), sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 size_in_g FROM dba_data_files GROUP BY ROLLUP(substr(file_name,1,4)) ORDER BY sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024;
SUBS SIZE_IN_G
---- ----------
/u05 40.2929688
/u01 249.622993
/u04 278.001892
/u02 278.322205
/u03 283.998962
1130.23902
conclusion recovery area for database should be about at least twice the size of current database file size which means recovery area should be about 2260 GB
if it is not possible to have a filesystem of 2260 GB, I guess the only solution is to have ASM

Quote:
If you omit the failure group specification, then Oracle ASM automatically places each disk into its own failure group, except for disk groups containing disks on Oracle Exadata cells.
Normal redundancy disk groups require at least two failure groups. High redundancy disk groups require at least three failure groups. Disk groups with external redundancy do not use failure groups.
My interpretation of the above is as follow:
normal redundancy disk group can have 3 or even more disks because it state at least. so for external redundancy we can have as many disk as possible right?
So all I need to do is as follow
if each partition can only be 355G, about 7 disk 2260/355 are required, then I need to partition and configure the Disk Devices to Use the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Library Driver according to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e47689/oraclerestart.htm#CHDFEDHB
install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server 11.2.0.4 (Binaries for ASM) from p13390677_112040_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip
Create the Diskgroup FRA
Migrate the existing flash recovery to FRA
Right?
Is there any other issues we have?
thanks and many thanks
