Hi,
I am planning to install CentOS 6.4 on Dell R720 which has hardware raid card and 6 hard disk slots available.
I have planned with the below set up :-
*2 Hard disks configured in RAID 1 for installing OS
What is the HDD size? For a base OS + MySQL server, a 4GB SATA Disk on Module (DoM) may be sufficient.
*4 Hard disks configured in RAID 10 for data drive.*
Again, hopefully, you have sized these disks for sufficient space for the DB files, presuming you will mount this device on /var/lib/mysql.
Please suggest and recommend if the above approach is correct and let me know if i am missing anything which is crucial to set up a production server. This server will host MySQL DB server.
You may want to put /tmp, /var/tmp/, /var/log on separate partitions - 1G, 1G, 3G, respectively. You can "steal" this kind of space by creating a LV on your RAID10 device and carving it up as above with the rest for your MySQL files.
