Thanks for your information Serge Fonville, My answers are below
1.Use a hight performance storage device (as applies with all databases) The stroages are in cluster 2. everything that uis located in the PostgreSQL datadirectory can be located on any device you prefer as long as the availability is guaranteed from the perspective of the PostgreSQL processes. Availability no issue, Is there any benchmark tool is there to check the performance of Postgres in Storage environment. It would be helpful if you were more specific in what you want to know and if it were a bit more clear of what your goals and environment is: What OS are you using RHEL5 What will be the purpose of the databases Databases for webapplicaiton, datawarehousing What environment do you have. I would like to keep the database in storage controller, which is accessible through NFS. What services should it provide Web services for continous read and write in the database What database engines do you already have experience with I have experience with MySQL storage engines, specifically MyISAM, Innodb. Why do you want to know this (what is your endgoal) The performance of Postgresql in Storage environment. Also we would like to create the Backup, Restore and DR solution using Storage What have you already researched (googled) Installation of Postgres, doing basic functionality Are you migrating data or is it a new setup. Now New setup, But In future we might need to migrat the data from different database like MySQL, Oracle What do the servers look like The servers are IBM X86[32bit ] To name a few questions that come to mind Hope this helps Regards, Serge Fonville On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 1:06 PM, Nagalingam, Karthikeyan <karthikeyan.nagalin...@netapp.com> wrote: Hi, I have some basic query in postgresql with storage, Please help me for the following 1.
