Managing Storage Profiles

You can use a Storage Profile to configure the Quality of Service (QoS) properties automatically when you create a logical volume.

A Storage Profile is defined as follows: A set of QoS attributes that can be used to configure a logical volume. Oracle provides a collection of Storage Profiles that are optimized for specific uses within an application context. Administrators can select one of the available profiles, create a new profile, or modify an existing profile.

The Performance Benchmark Storage Profile is designed for performance testing purposes only. This Storage Profile is not recommended for most applications because it uses the system resources in a way that negatively impacts other applications and interferes with the functioning of other volumes in the Storage Domain. After creating a volume that uses the Performance Benchmark Storage Profile, delete the Performance Benchmark volume before you configure normal volumes for applications.
