In the install logs, Oracle suggests separating the programs and data,
each of which then fits nicely on a single 3390-3:
--
*** Database File Location Page***
TitleLabel = Database File Location
Prompt = For best database organization and performance, Oracle
recommends installing database files and Oracle software on separate
disks. The database software should be installed in Oracle Home on
one disk, and the database content including datafiles, control files,
and redo logs should reside on a different disk.

Here is some sizing information that may be helpful:

Standard install:
dalvs1:~ # df -P
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/dasdl1 2366248 1606964 639084 72% /wa
/dev/dasdm1 2366248 1305044 941004 59% /wb

Full install (all options):
dalvs2:~ # df -P
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/dasdl1 2328704 1905548 302956 87% /wa
/dev/dasdm1 2328704 1379000 829504 63% /wb

The install CD's were copied to /wc:
/dev/dasdn1 2366248 1227060 1018988 55% /wc

dalvs1:/wc/o9ir2 # ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 4 16:51 .
drwxrwxrwx 8 root root 4096 Nov 6 16:21 ..
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 26 15:02 Disk1
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 23 04:49 Disk2

Since the install is X-based, from my SuSE 8.1 workstation I used:
ssh -X dalvs1
With this you can tunnel through firewalls, and you don't
have to set your DISPLAY in your .bashrc.

Here are the install logs:
dalvs1:/home/orar2/oraInventory/logs # ls -al
total 2412
drwxrwxr-x 2 orar2 oinstall 4096 Jan 2 12:30 .
drwxrwxr-x 12 orar2 oinstall 4096 Sep 9 17:27 ..

dalvs1:/home/orar2/oraInventory/logs # uname -a
Linux dalvs1 2.4.7-SuSE-SMP #1 SMP Tue May 21 13:00:26 GMT 2002 s390 unknown

Since I already had Oracle9i Release 1 installed, and wished to keep it,
I created orar2 with group oinstall for the Oracle9i Release 2 User ID.
After the install, I changes the port numbers to avoid conflict:
/wa/OraR2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

Here are selected log extracts showing the choices I made during the install dialog:

*** Welcome Page***

*** UNIX Group Name Page***
UnixInstallGroup = UNIX_GROUP_NAME = oinstall

*** Cluster Node Selection Page***
ClusterNodes = CLUSTER_NODES =
Setting value of FROM_LOCATION to /wc/o9ir2/Disk1/stage/products.jar

*** Database Identification Page***
TitleLabel = Database Identification
Prompt0 = An Oracle9i database is uniquely identified by a Global Database Name, typically of the form "name.domain". Enter the Global Database Name for this database.
Label0 = Global Database Name:
Prompt1 = A database is referenced by at least one Oracle9i instance which is uniquely identified from any other instance on this computer by an Oracle System Identifier (SID). A suggested SID has been entered which you can accept or change to a value you prefer.
Label1 = SID:
Text0 = s_globalDBName = dbs1.oracle
Text1 = s_dbSid = s390
Setting value of s_mountPoint to /wb/OraR2
filename = //wb/OraR2/
driveName = //wb/OraR2/
filename = /wb/OraR2/dbs1/system01.dbf

*** Database File Location Page***
TitleLabel = Database File Location
Prompt = For best database organization and performance, Oracle recommends installing database files and Oracle software on separate disks. The database software should be installed in Oracle Home on one disk, and the database content including datafiles, control files, and redo logs should reside on a different disk.
Directory = s_mountPoint = /wb/OraR2

Hope this helps,

Hi friends,
I'm traying to install Oracle 9i at Linux 390.
But I only have two disks model 3 ( 2.6 g per disk ), but Oracle need more
than this.
Q. Can I tell Linux to use two or three physical disks as one logical ?

Any help will be appreciate !!

TIA.
