This paper delivers guidance for using Dell PowerStore T model arrays in an Oracle 21c Oracle Standalone environment. This document also includes guidance for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) database environments on Linux operation systems.
This paper was developed using the PowerStore 5200T model array, but the information is also applicable to PowerStore 500T, PowerStore x000T and PowerStore x200T models. The Linux operating system that was used in this paper was Oracle Linux (OL) 8.7 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). The general operating system content is applicable to other OL8 UEK, OL7 UEK, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 versions, but commands and specific processes might be different.
Some recommendations in the paper might not apply to all environments. For questions about the applicability of these guidelines in your environment, contact your Dell Technologies representative.
