> is anyone using Net App Filer -products with Oracle environment. Yup. Hosts a horde of databases for a medium sized outfit - pehaps 3000 employees, 24/7 manufacturing. > What do you think? I like it but I'm not the DBA. It works for us, but might not be right for a bigger company. That said, most companies in the US ARE our size .. or smaller. > Advantages Snapshot. Best damn way to backup a box yet. We 'snap' at 12 hour intervals, it's a breeze to restore. Off course, we still have tapes. It's Unix, underneath. Web Mgt interface makes doing admin chores easy. Just Works - mount the Filer drives as NFS mounts from the host. Support; Net App knows about problems at the same time we do. A few times our POC has gotten to work and found out about potential problems from a chipper voice mail from Net App. > Disadvantages It was difficult getting to know the Filer at first - we had a difficult time wrapping our heads around the whole idea. Our DBA was .. dubious at best about the prospect. I think we've won him over. ~brian -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Brian Dunbar INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
