Hi Rod

Sounds good, and here's us thinking we were one of a small minority using Unidata on a SAN. Did you notice that there isnt alot of room to maneuvar in terms of clustering! We also have two arrays, both of which are active but able to cover each other. VxVM is used as yourselves, we also run various OS functions, webservers, SQL farms etc.

What model Hitachi array are you using? Is it one of the Thunder style models?

Anyone else?

We use Hitachi SAN's and Solaris 8. We have one SAN for our production box
in Conn. And a second SAN for our failover/development box in Minnesota.
Production has about 800 users on in Prime time. We are also using RFS, but
keep the log files for RFS on local drives. Performance is good most days.
And when we have performance issues, it is tough to put a finger on. There
are a lot of components involved besides the Hitachi's. We have RFS,
Veritas, the WAN, routers, Web access,  Voice access, the Hitachi, Solaris,
Unidata and who knows what I have forgotten. Anyone of these can be a
bottleneck. But that said, we are very happy with the Hitachi. - Rod

Hi all


Slightly off topic, but I wondered how many of you house your Unidata applications on a SAN (Storage Area Network), ours is housed on a LSI based SAN made up of two arrays. What kind of performance do you observe?

Any replies would be appreciated.

I will summarise if people reply directly to me.

Thanks
