Hi DU Managers

I am trying to setup a 4100 with a KZPAC 3 channel RAID controller. I have
7 * 9GB disks distributed on two RAID channels on two separate BA356 boxes.
The machine will be running Oracle server. The way I am planning to
configure the disks is to create one large RAID 5 group of seven disks ,
which would give me 52GB of usable storage. Then split this into 3 logical
drives and then create partitions for /, /usr, swap on on elogical drive
and other oracle domains on the remaining logical drives.

My Question:
--------------
Is this the recommended way of setting up the disks on a RAID controller.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing it.

I will welcome any suggestions on this.

Regards

Rajesh Kapoor
