The Installgen Files/Tablespaces folder tab fields
provide the configuration information for the filenames, paths, and
tablespaces which will be created within the database as it is created.
The DBA should follow Oracle best practices to lay out the datafiles
on different disk devices in order to improve performance. (This example
is designed to allow testing of the demo scripts on a server which does
not have multiple drives.)
field: Mount Point
On UNIX systems, this field will contain the names of the mount points
which will be added to the /etc/vfstab file. On Windows systems this
field will contain the drive letter followed by the top-level OFA compliant
directory name used for storing database datafiles.
field: Device Name
UNIX specific feature - not used during Windows installations.
The device name will be the UNIX device name which will be added to
the /etc/vfstab file.
field: Tablespace Name
The names of each tablespace which will be created in the database.
This field should contain the following minimum tablespaces: system,
users, rbs, indx and temp.
field: Tablespace Size
The size in Mbytes for each of the tablespaces which will be created
within the database.
field: Tablespace Path/Filename
The full pathname (in OFA compliant format) and datafile name for each
tablespace datafile to be created in the database.
field: Control File Path/Filename
The full pathname and filename of each controlfile to be created in
the database.
field: Redo File Path/Filename
The full pathname and filename of each online redo log file to be created
in the database.
field: Redo File Size
The size of each online redo log file to be created in the database.
field: Redo File Path/Filename - Multiplexed
The full pathname and filename of each online redo log file to be created
in the database.
Note: For reliability and performance purposes a different storage device
should be used for each of the mirrored online redo log files than is
specified for the primary online redo log file. For every online redo
log file, an entry needs to be made in this field for the multiplexed
redo log file.
field: UDUMP directory
Oracle user dump directory.
field: CDUMP directory
Oracle core dump directory.
field: BDUMP directory
Oracle binary dump directory, which will also contain the alert.log
file.
field: UNDO tablespace name (Oracle 9i only)
The name of the undo tablespace.
field: UNDO tablespace size (Oracle 9i only)
The size of the undo tablespace.
Note: Generally the size of the undo tablespace will start at a minimum
of 500Mb or there might not be enough space in some situations while
building and configuring a new database instance.
field: UNDO tablespace path (Oracle 9i only)
The pathname including data filename to be created for the UNDO tablespace.
