Modify diskgroup TEMPFILE template attributes: when does it make sense ?

3826378Jan 8 2019 — edited Jan 8 2019

Hi,

We're on 12.2 on a VMAX-based SAN, upon which we made our '/dev' devices.

We created only 2 diskgroups: one DATA, and one FRA. DATA diskgroup contains

all our tablespaces, including temporary ones.

In a Dell EMC white paper they recommend to modify striping to fine-grain for

temporary tablespaces files, so we ran:

SQL> alter diskgroup data alter template tempfile attributes (fine);

but I'm wondering if it makes sense... Shouldn't we create a TEMP diskgroup specific to

temporary tablespaces upon which we will make *all* our temp tablespaces, and then run:

SQL> alter diskgroup TEMP alter template tempfile attributes (fine);

                     ^^^^

?? (we did this at the very beginning after Grid infra installation, before any DB creation)

Or is it enough for Oracle to alter generic DATA dg and modify TEMPFILE template only ?

Will Oracle modify stripes of temporary files *only* inside DATA diskgroup ? I found no

documentation where playing like this with template attributes is relevant or not...

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Seb
