How should partitioning be done on RHEL for DatabaseOnly installation?
I see the minimum requirements in the installation document, but OS team requested recommendations and wants to know in which partition actual data will reside so that they can allocate accordingly.
Partition Disk Space Required
/root 5.1 GB
/home 1 GB
/home/oracle 5.2 GB
/home/admin 1 GB
/u01 6.5 GB
Note: If the /home partitions share the same volume, they require 7.2 GB disk space in total.
They want to know how to split the 500 GB we requested.
In my experience, the sizes listed in the Installation Guide are the absolute bare minimum for installation.
I'd put a good portion of the 500GB towards u01 as that is where the database will reside with most of your data. Somewhere around 200-250GB.
Next is /home where the wildfly installation, archive and backups will go. Atleast 100GB depending on how many backups you plan on keeping.
/root isn't used much by IG&L, but to avoid running out of space I'd go with 50GB since we still have a bit to spare.
Put the remaining 150GB on / and make sure to have LVM setup on all partitions so that you easily can redistribute it incase you start to fill up on a partition.
