ASM Disks and Mount Points

rsar001Dec 7 2017 — edited Dec 11 2017

Hi There,

We're moving one of our databases to new hardware and we will be using ASM (Oracle 11.2.0.4 Standard Edition). As you can see there are 6 1TB disks attached.

[oracle@essdbora01 ~]$ df -PH

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/xvda2      108G   22G   86G  21% /

devtmpfs         65G     0   65G   0% /dev

tmpfs            65G     0   65G   0% /dev/shm

tmpfs            65G   18M   65G   1% /run

tmpfs            65G     0   65G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

tmpfs            13G     0   13G   0% /run/user/1000

[oracle@essdbora01 ~]$ lsblk

NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

xvda    202:0    0  100G  0 disk

├─xvda1 202:1    0    1M  0 part

└─xvda2 202:2    0  100G  0 part /

xvdb    202:16   0 1000G  0 disk

xvdc    202:32   0 1000G  0 disk

xvdd    202:48   0 1000G  0 disk

xvde    202:64   0 1000G  0 disk

xvdf    202:80   0 1000G  0 disk

xvdg    202:96   0 1000G  0 disk

Can someone please shed some light on the mount points setup or how should they be setup in an AM environment please. Do we need to create binaries, data, backup, ..etc. mount points like we do a regular instance? For example, one of our none-asm database server has 10 data mount points, backup mount point, 4 indexes mount points, u01 (binaries), backup mount point, and fra mount point? OR do we create /u01 (binaries), one data mount point, one fra mount point (for archive logs, redo logs, and backup), and may be one dump mount point?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Cheers
