Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

I Need your help Please

I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.

I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.

But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.

I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:

FlexVol saplog

/usr/sap/SID

/usr/sap/trans

/sapmnt/SID

/home/SIDadm

/oracle/SID

/oracle/SID/origlogA

/oracle/SID/origlogB

/oracle/SID/oraarch

/oracle/SID/sapreorg

/oracle/SID/sapbackup

/oracle/SID/saparch

FlexVol sapdata

/oracle/SID/sapdata1

/oracle/SID/sapdata2

...........

/oracle/SID/sapdataN

FlexVol mirrlogs

/oracle/SID/mirrlogA

/oracle/SID/mirrlogB

Thanks and appreciate your help

Check the installation guides at

http://service.sap.com/instguides

They have a preparation section with details how to size the filesystems.

Hi Markus

I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?

The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?

Thanks

Where did you read that?

The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.

The usual process is:

- you contact your hardware vendor

- you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data

- the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup

- the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing

Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.

You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.

This issue has been addressed by the Netapps people and we have allocated the required space accordingly.

Thanks
