Oracle VM Server csak lokalis storage-dzsel

Sziasztok,

van egy Dell R930-as szerverem 64GB RAM, 4db 1TB-os SAS diszkkel RAID10 modban.
Kollegam szamara erre kene Oracle VM Servert felraknom, melyen 2-3 VM futna. Az egyik VM szamara tobb mint 2TB hely kene (Oracle adatbazis futna rajta).

Lehuztam a 3.4.1 Server es VM Manager iso fajlokat.

Fel is installaltam az Oracle VM Server-t, miutan azonban tovabb olvasgattam, rajottem, hogy ha lokalis storage-t szeretnek hasznalni
a VM-ek reszere, erre csak nem hasznalt fizikai diszket tudok hozzarendelni VM Manager alatt.

Tobb helyrol is infot szereztem:

szerint, page 13:

"Also worth noting here is that local storage repositories have a couple of other restrictions that need to be planned for: (i) only whole, unpartitioned, physical disks can be used for local storage, and (ii) local SAS disks are not supported as local storage repositories.

This means that you cannot use the unused parts of Oracle VM Server boot disks as any form of storage repository, so turning all the drives in a machine into a single huge RAID device just results in wasted space.

You can use a local SAS disk as the boot disk for Oracle VM Server, which might allow you to use the remaining non-SAS disk as a local storage repository. Remember that any time you use a local storage repository that VMs and data located there are permanently fixed to that Oracle VM Server for normal purposes.

Mi az a non-SAS diszk? Hasznalhato az en hardwerem erre a celra?

szerint azonban:

"If an Oracle VM Server has unused hard disks, they can be used as local storage for your environment. On condition that these spare disks are completely empty, meaning they have no partitions or file systems, they are included automatically in the local storage array of the Oracle VM Server.

Note that local storage arrays are not listed under the Storage tab of the Hardware view. You can, however, see the local storage entities in locations where you can use them; for example when you create a storage repository, select a physical disk for a VM, list the physical disks accessible to an Oracle VM Server, or select a physical clone target.

Local storage has the advantage that it is fast and easy to use, but users must be aware that there is no possibility to share this type of storage and that it cannot be used in a high-availability configuration.

The configuration where local storage is most useful is where you have an unclustered server pool that contains only one Oracle VM Server. By configuring a storage repository (see Section 4.8, “Preparing and Configuring Storage Repositories”) on local storage you can set up an Oracle VM virtualized environment quickly and easily on a single server: all your resources, virtual machines and their disks are stored locally. Since there is only one Oracle VM Server, access to resources is guaranteed.
"

A Section 4.8, “Preparing and Configuring Storage Repositories” irja:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/E18549/html/BABHBHGF.html

"Local storage, or unused disks in your Oracle VM Servers, are discovered as LUNs in a local storage array. If you want to use a single-server setup with local storage, be sure to deactivate clustering in your server pool. This eliminates the need for a server pool file system, which cannot be on a local disk by definition."

Most nem tudom eldonteni, megfelel-e a szerverem a kovetelmenyeknek es ha igen, hogy kene a meg installacio elott a diszkeket elokeszitenem?

alatt van egy jo kis leiras, hogy kell lokalis diszket hozzaadni Oracle VM Manager alatt. (mondjuk itt mas a hw :-))

Koszonom elore a magyarazatokat, hozzaszolasokat.
