how to set up external storage in Oracle VM?

717949Aug 19 2009 — edited Aug 19 2009

Hi,

We have oracle VM server 2.1.2 installed with the Oracle DB vm, and will need the Oracle DB access the external storage for better I/O perf. We'd need to install SAS Raid controller driver and Raidman software to configure the storage array, firstly, my understanding is that we can't install the dirver and sw to a virtual machine(oracle db vm) but would need to install them on the Oracle VM server, then create raw disk file on it and add it into the disk parameter in the "vm.cfg", after restart the oracle db vm, we suppose to be able to format and create partition in the oracle db vm. Please let me know if my understanding of configuration procedure as above is correct.
Second question is: Do we suppose to download driver and Raidman software for the RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 platform? Can the driver/sw versions on the Redhat enterprise linux 5 be used on Oracle VM server 2.1.2?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Jenny
