Kathy - We have used them for supplemental storage on our test/development
system (Compaq Tru64, Oracle 8.1.6). The limitation seems to be the NFS
connection is slower than your "conventional" or "real" disks. For some
tasks this isn't a problem, but it is easy to start several large tasks that
saturate the NFS connection. For example, when I have to build several large
indexes, I copy the underlying tables to the "real" disk, and build the
indexes one at a time. I won't deny that I may be overreacting to some
problems. Other than that, it seems to work fine for our test/development
system where it generally receives sporadic and light use. I am told that it
cost much less than conventional disks.

Has anyone used Network Appliance?
Any options good/bad appreciated as it applies to Unix (Solaris and HP) and
Oracle 8.1.6 and above.
Going to a dog and pony show by them tomorrow.
