Has any "rolled their own" SAN? We've got a bunch of stuff on EMC but now we're looking to build our own fibre channel SAN and replace EMC NFS with clustered file systems. (Of course Oracle is not on NFS.)
Disk may be cheap but vendor SAN boxes are not. Steve Orr Bozeman, MT -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 11:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hundreds, nay, thousands put their datafiles on SAN. All love it. All would trade their children for more SAN storage. None have ever had a problem. :) Seriously, though, some huge percentage of storage being configured today is SAN and a big chunk of that is database storage. It by and large works fine, in that its just as good as SCSI-attached, only generally faster and you can put the array farther away from the host :) The gotchas tend to come up in more complex environments with things like combining multiple san vendors, different operating systems, remote replication, snapshots, etc. etc. But just hooking up hosts to fibre channel storage and sending commands tends to go off flawlessly.
