Oracle DBAs understand the importance of defining guidelines and standards and using them in the configuration and management of database servers. Years ago the Optimal Configuration Architecture (OFA) developed a base set of guidelines and naming conventions for Oracle DBAs.
I developed the MySQL Optimal Configuration Architecture (MOCA) modeled after OFA to give new MySQL DBAs a set of guidelines and standards to consider when configurating MySQL database servers.

Hi. I would like to know about the meaning of db01, db02,... Are they logical volumes? Only separate directories? Thanks in advance. Very good blog!
JL, on the disk layout for a database it is a best practice to develop standard naming conventions. A consistent naming style for the mount points where database files reside is good for recognizing the information at those mount points. /db0x, is one style pattern. The key is to be consistent with your configurations.
