Sai - Several factors: - This was several years ago, so memory fades. - This was the sys admin's first go at NFS. - Got through the initial configuration issues, and the system was up and running. Then several months later I was trying to use the device for RMAN recovery. It would "hang" with no errors. Experts on this list provided a lot of useful ideas, and put me much closer to the issue, but finally I ended up pushing Oracle Support. They insisted we take NFS out of the mix, just use regular disk. It worked, which forced the sys admin to go back and review everything. In the rhosts file, had the name with the wrong I.P. number. Surprisingly it would mount, but wouldn't accept heavy loads. And that is about all I can reconstruct on that. Unfortunately probably not particularly useful to you.

We ran into a couple of hitches. If you are able to mount a tablespace on the Netapp device, you should be past the first thing we ran into. The other issue had to do with the fact that RMAN opens many connections to disk, so when we tried to recover the backup, RMAN would recover some files, then quit. Changing a Netapp configuration parameter fixed that problem. Dennis Williams DBA, 80%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
