Folks,
I've been asked to validate/invalidate a contention made by two storage
vendors.
NetAppliance has stated that you can use a netapp filer with Oracle for
datafiles, although their configuration looks more like a DAS(direct attached
storage) configuration using 10baseT cables vs. SCSI cables. Of course their
real claim to fame here is Oracle's endorsement.
EMC on the other hand has stated that using a NAS, in the traditional mode,
for Oracle datafiles is at best risky. And although their product can support
it, they do not recommend doing so for several of the reasons that I've held out
are pertinent.
Therefore, is there anyone out their using a NAS to store datafiles? If so,
what does the configuration (server to NAS) look like?
