Live partitioning requirements, NFM-P components

Description
CAUTION 

CAUTION

Service Disruption

Each disk partition described in this section must be a mounted partition and not a symbolic link.

The NFM-P does not support the use of symbolic links to represent partitions.

The following disk layouts are for a deployment in a live network environment.

Note: See the NSP Planning Guide and the response to your NFM-P Platform Sizing Request for information about the supported disk types.

Note: For each database partitioning scheme, the Oracle management user home directory specified by the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is /opt/nsp/nfmp/oracle19.

Live collocated main server and database partitioning scheme

The following table lists the partitions required for the live deployment of a collocated main database and main server.

Table 2-19: Live partitioning scheme, collocated main server and database

Disks required:

  • Physical deployment—four 300 Gbyte (RAID 0) or eight 300 Gbyte (RAID 1+0)

  • qcow deployment—minimum of 558 Gbytes, plus calculated /opt/nsp/nfmp/nebackup partition size
