RAID

#1 (**permalink**) 02-24-2008, 01:33 PM

Hi All,

I have got RAID10 disks and my system is IO bound. I thought that RAID
would take away all striping problems, but that is not necessarily the
case, why am I having IO issues despite the RAID hw? WIll ASM help

Thanks for any advice.

RAID10 includes striping. It's not going to "take away all striping
problems".

Maybe you simply have bigger load than is your disk IO capacity. You
can add more disks or use quicker ones. That's the only answer that I
can give to such generic question.
