Divide the 200 GB into multiple PVs. Don't make a single PV. Using multiple PV
is more flexible than one PV.
Put /boot on a non-Logical{VM} partition unless you're planning to boot from
an external disk.
1 VG for /
- 1 LV for /
- 1 LV for /home (optional)
- (other LVs depending on your needs)
Why? 1) In case you want to move / out of the disk where your databases
resides, and 2) It helps in maintaining your OS volumes without touching
your database VG.
1 VG for the Oracle DBs (see explanation above). In case you upgrade to a
bigger disk later, you can just move the whole database VG without worrying
about you OS volumes.
It depends on how coupled you want your system though and this depends largely
on your requirements.
Cheers.
