DAOS is so great! It will save you oodles of disk space ... what the?

Separate drives is a great idea...unless the customer is running IBM i on Power Systems, of course. No need. ;)

I always hear the statement, that a disk for every io is so much better than one disk with the same spindle count. But no one is providing test results showing this.

In our migration project from System i to the windows plattform we have made many tests and in all tests a Raid disk with 5 physical disks performs better than a configuration with 1 disk os 1 swap, 1 data 1 for logs and 1 for daos. Maybe on bigger server the seperation of disk is better, but in a small server with 5 disks is one virtual disk provided by a good hardware Raid Controller superior.

Yep agree. Running it up now on our new mail architecture...it's fantastic and saves a heap of space.

Manish - If you are literally running a single disk for each of those then you're right, RAID 5 will outperform it. In a perfect world each of those is a separate RAID array, though, and ideally the OS is on a separate RAID controller than the rest. At the very least you should have the OS and Domino data on separate physical disks (each in a RAID configuration), and further segment the transaction logs if at all possible.

Guys, I've written a recent DeveloperWorks article that covers the subject of DAOS and why you really, #really# need a dedicated Translog disk (preferably a dedicated Translog RAID 1 array) to get a performant system:

{ Link }

You dont need a separate disk for the DAOS NLOs, but it is a good idea not to put the NLO path beneath the Data Directory Path, because Domino regularly scans all files under Data:

{ Link }

So a good minimum is 1 disk for OS and swap, 1 for Domino Program Directory, NSFs and NLOs, and one for Translogs. Of course some of these "disks" can be arrays instead.

Lastly, RAID 5 is a terrible idea for Domino - of all the common RAID configurations, it is the absolute worst for Write I/O performance. With typical workloads, I/O to NSFs is 50/50 Read/Write (remember, every time a user reads something, the Unread table is updated, thats a Write), and for Translogs its 100% Write.

We also use separate drives for program files, data and Transaction logs.

DAOS NLO's we have in a folder [:\zDAOS] on the same drive as the Domino data [\ibm\lotus\domino\data]

The z in the DAOS folder name is to ensure that our backup software [TSM\TDP] backs up the NLOs after the NSF's
