Advice on allocating SAN storage to a virtual database server on VMware
I am relatively new to Linux and we are getting ready to convert our current oracle database servers from the AIX platform to RHEL7 servers on VMWare. I would appreciate any advice on how best to allocate storage to these machines. I plan on using LVM to maintain the disks/filesystems but am unsure on how to initially assign the SAN storage to ensure the best performance possible.
In our current AIX environment we have separate disks/volume groups for the different types of data being stored. i.e. database files in a different volume group than O/S data, etc. On the SAN side the disks are on different storage devices as well so we can avoid any type of bottlenecks.
When creating a VM would I take this same approach?
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
