Prepare disk, mount points / file systems

and logical volume

For Production and Non Production installation the AIO Standard Edition requires 3 disks (LUNs / physical / virtual) to support throughput.

You need to allocate the following mount points / file systems on the different disks as described in table 1

It is strongly recommended to use logical volume manager (LVM) especially for data disk

The minimum file system sizes for the different installation types are described in table 2
