I have been running 8.1.7.2 on Tru64 5.1 on a SAN. However,
the Database Server and the Application Server [Apps R11] are the
only servers on the SAN {and that's why I say SAN in quotes !}
I had set _tru64_directio_disabled=TRUE in my database in June
2002 [after having upgraded from 8.0.5 in
Thanks, Stephen
I'll pass this along to our SA's. We will be migrating to the Compaq SAN;
upgrading our controllers to fiber (HSG80's ?) but we have 2 older 8400's as
production primary failover, and yes, they both have access to the same
disk farm, though not concurrently (currently).
Title: Message
OK,
everything I've read so far on using Direct I/O with an Oracle database says
it's a bad idea. Either performance problems or block corruption may
occur. The notes on metalink (132391.1)refer to Tru64 5.0A and 5.1
but not 5.1A (to which we've recently upgraded). So is
Mike,
Compaq SAN and Tru64 and direct I/O have been nothing but trouble in my
recent experience. I put in over 35 hours over Christmas and last
weekend working on recoveries of system crashes. Our problem appears to
have been relating to the fact that several machines had mount points on
disks
