Hi All,

On the M5000 server (without domains), I have 64 GB RAM. But I have
only 4 disks with 73 GB capacity each. I will be using two M5000
servers and local disks for the OS, Sun Cluster 3.2 and RAC software.
I What will be the ideal OS layout? Can the following be configured:

On disk1 and disk2 (mirrored):

slice 0 -    /                    -  20 GB
slice 1 -    swap             -  15 GB
slice 3 -    globaldevices - 512 MB
slice 4 -    /var               -  15 GB
slice 6 -    /usr               -  20 GB
slice 7 -    unassigned    - 100 MB

On disk3 and disk4 (mirrored):

slice 0 -    /opt
                          -  22 GB  ( for Oracle binaries )
slice 1 -    additional swap space which can be added after OS install -  50 GB
slice 7 -    unassigned
                     - 100 MB

Best Regards,
Bruce
