Storage Recommendation
- DPOD serves as a database and should therefore be configured to use very fast disks.
...
- Therefore, DPOD installation requires 3 DISKS for OS , Install, Data.
- Usage of slow disks is not recommended and will impact the amount of time between creation of transaction logs and the availability of the data on DPOD's dashboards.
- For Physical hardware installation that can utilize HW RAID services we recommend the following:
- RAID5 - 40GB - for OS disk
- RAID5 - 40GB - for App disk
- RAID0 - Depends on volume - for Data disk.
