Can someone provide the pros cons of /oracle layout for ERP 6.0 production system?
Is it better to build several additional sapdatas.
Initially SAP loads data into sapdata 1 through sapdata4.....
Has anyone seen any possible performance issues only using sapdata1-4 especially with a 3 TB DB running 10.2.04?
Any advice is appriciated...
Thanks

During a typical SAP by default sapinst specifies sapdata1,2 3, 4 for loading tables etcetc.

True.
I think the main reason for this is "historical" where databases directories were physically spread across different disks because RAID was either unavailable or too expensive or too slow.
If all those sapdataX are on the same SAN it doesn't matter if you have one, two or ten of them (in regards to performance). OS imposed restrictions may limit that but from a performance perspective there's no difference.

Hello Mikie,

What do you mean with this?

This depends on your storage. Normally if you have a high-range SAN storage it shouldn't matter. I have seen special cases where some disk ranks were overloaded .. but normally you should not think about that. If you don't have SAN and your load needs to be spread .. this is something different.

Our main logistic system is round about 3.6 TB and stored in eleven sapdata directories .. but this partitioning has nothing todo with performance issues ... the reason for that is some limitation on OS level.

If i extend or create a new tablespace i am wondering every time .. why sap is creating a sub directory for every data file by default .. absolutely freaky.
