We are considering implementing a SAN, using Sun StorEdge SS9970 [OEM from Hitachi], where database servers will be a mix of Sun Solaris and HP HPUX running Oracle 8i, 9i, 9iRAC [in phase-2].
As the database files will be on File Systems [Sun or HP], the solutions provider says that backups of the HP file systems cannot be done by the backup server running Solaris. The proposal is to use "shadow copies". The Sun Engineer says that the "shadow copy" must be mounted as a file system on the backup server and as the backup server is a Sun server it wouldn't be able to mount the HP file system. How are Heterogenous implementations on a SAN done ? How are backups done ?
