Figure 2. Sample Oracle RAC Configuration with three PS5000XV arrays
As illustrated in Figure 2, the group named oracle-group includes
three PS5000XV members: oracle-member01, oracle-member02, and
oracle-member03. When a member is initialized, it can be configured with
RAID 10, RAID 5, or RAID 50. For more information on how to initialize
an EqualLogic array, see the Dell EqualLogic User's Guide.
A PS Series storage group can be segregated into multiple tiers or pools.
Tiered storage provides you with greater control over how disk resources are
allocated. A member can be assigned to only one pool at any one time. You can
easily assign a member to a pool or move a member between pools with no
impact to data availability. You can organize pools according to different criteria,
such as disk types or speeds, RAID levels, application types.
