Thanks to Steven, Colin and Jez. They all like the Filers they use. It seems they are every bit as good as NetApp claim. No body said anything rude about them. Cheers, Richard =================================================== Subject RE: Net App Filers and Oracle Databases on Sun Hiya We're running several Oracle DBs on a filer - have been for a couple of months now. We do keep some control files and a redo log local. Performance wise, at LEAST as good as DAS (across gigabit ethernet of course) Backing up the DBs is a pleasure using snapshots :) All in all, I reckon they're as good as NetApp say they are Cheers Steven ============================== Richard, We run an Oracle database on Sun using a Netapps F820. We have not had any problems with this. All of Oracle is on th Netapps. Seems quite fast and our DBA's or users have not complained. Regards, Colin. ================================ Hi, Yes, we use Oracle databases mounted on a clustered pair of Netapp F740s We use a mixture of Solaris 7 and 8, on various boxes (E420, Netra T1, Netra X1) This setup works really well for us, as the filers give you the opportunity to snapshot the database files instantly. AFAIK (I'm not the DBA) we split some of the control files/redo logs between local partitions and the filers Hope this helps Jez ================================= From "Richard Mackerras" <richard_mackerras@mysun.com> Date Thursday, November 7, 2002 10:44 am To sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject Net App Filers and Oracle Databases on Sun Hi, Has anyone got experience running Oracle databases on a Sun using NAS from a NetApp Filer? Are the modern Filers as good as NetApp claim? Do you choose to put some files locally (a redo log, a control file)?
