Ed,
The answer is yes and no, or more accurately it depends. First off there
are only two storage vendors, to my knowledge, certified by Oracle for this.
They are Net Appliance and EMC. The reason is that they have software and
hardware that 'guarantees' to get the data from the buffers to the drives.
Secondly you need absolutely dedicated TCP/IP connectivity between the computer
and the storage array. Look at it as replacing scsi adapters and cables with
network cards and cables.

Are there any problems running Oracle on one box, and pointing the database
files to a mass storage network device (ie. a disk array or some external
storage solution). In other words, will Oracle run using network
addressable storage? I'm assuming this is not a difficult thing to do, but
I would love to hear some war stories.
Any configuration or specific recommendations on how to do this? Unix/NT an
issue?
Best,
Ed
