Claim:
A method for configuring a storage system for database storage comprising: receiving, from an information handling system physically distinct from the storage system, an identity of at least one first tablespace and at least one second tablespace to be stored on the storage system, wherein the at least one first tablespace has a first block size and the at least one second tablespace has a second block size; mapping, by a processor of the storage system the at least one first tablespace to at least one first logical unit, wherein the at least one first logical unit comprises all or a portion of at least one physical storage resource of the storage system and is configured to appear to an operating system executing on the information handling system as a single storage device; mapping, by the processor, the at least one first tablespace and the at least one first logical unit to a first storage cache of the storage system, the first storage cache having a size equal to the first block size; mapping, by at least one second tablespace to at least one second logical unit, wherein the at least one second logical unit comprises all or a portion of at least one physical storage resource of the storage system and is configured to appear to an operating system executing on information handling system as a single storage device; and mapping, by the at least one second tablespace and the at least one second logical unit to a second storage cache of the storage system, the second storage cache having a size equal to the second block size.
