We created VMFS data stores using the storage volumes that are presented to the database server ESXi hosts. These datastores host VM operating systems and other database volumes. The following table represents the datastore configuration of a virtualized database DB1:
Volume Name | VMware Datastore | Volume size (GB) | Notes |
orabp22-vm1-os | orabp22-vm1-os-ds | 400 | Operating System |
orabp22-vm1-grid-001 | orabp22-vm1-grid-001-ds | 50 | GRID |
orabp22-vm1-grid-002 | orabp22-vm1-grid-002-ds | 50 | |
orabp22-vm1-grid-003 | orabp22-vm1-grid-003-ds | 50 | |
orabp22-vm1-db1-data-001 | orabp22-vm1-data-001-ds | 1000 | Data files |
orabp22-vm1-db1-redo-001 | orabp22-vm1-redo-001-ds | 55 | Online redo logs |
orabp22-vm1-db1-fra-001 | orabp22-vm1-fra-001-ds | 60 | Flash Recovery Area |
orabp22-vm1-db1-temp | orabp22-vm1-temp-ds | 500 | Temp files |
Similar design principle is used for other virtualized databases DB2, DB3, and DB4.
