Installation Overview and Planning
Disk Drives and Database Storage
In a medium or large network, using multiple disk drives to store databases helps alleviate I/O
bottlenecks and improves software performance. If you are using multiple disk drives for database
storage, or you expect to generate large database files, use raw partitions, as described in the Cisco
Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/element_manager_system/3.2_service_pack_7/installatio
n/guide/3_2p7adm.pdf
Note
If you are using UNIX File System (UFS) partitions, installing more than one drive for database storage
does not improve performance because the databases cannot span multiple partitions.
