Oracle ASM vs RAID 10 I have oracle ASM 11gR2 on oracle linux 5.8 and i want to install oracle database.
I have some disks and i want to use the redundancy strategies of oracle ASM or RAID 10 .
I do not know which one is better ? Oracle ASM redundancy or RAID 10 ?
If you can afford RAID, then go for it.. RAID or no RAID depends.. if your hardware provides redundancy then go with ASM and mirror it as you wish.
Tom Kyte has brilliant insight towards this..try visiting his site as well.
