Do not mix Database and storage pool disks.

How many clients do you want to backup to this setup?  What is the total
hardware?

        Subject:        db vols and disk pools

        I have sixteen 18gb SSA disks (one adapter, two loops, one 7133-D40
shelf).
        I've estimated I'll need a 36gb database and a 4gb recovery log. The
rest
        of the
        storage will be divided into two disk pools. My question is:
        How to setup physical disk wise?
        Should I keep the db on four 18gb disks (includes mirrors) and the
disk
        pools on
        their own disks. Or should I spread out the db on more disks and
share
        those disks
        with the disk pools. Which has less contention? looking for advice.
Thanks.
