Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 24*7 Operation using Compaq TRU64
We've been using Compaq/Digital hardware at my current job for 6+ years. Our current setup is dual alpha 8400's (1 primary, 1 backup/reporting) with 8 EV6/660 CPUs & 12G Memory. OS is 40F. Storage is Compaq Storageworks with HSZ & HSG70 controllers, disks are mirrored 5 ways using AFS & HW mirroring. The next tier is 5 apps servers (3 4100's, 3 ES40's).
This environment supports a 500Gb SAP database on V8.0.6. I've been quite satisfied with performance & reliablility as we are daily breaking disk mirrors off of the primary and mounting them on the backup server for tape backups and to create a reporting database instance.
The only major downtime we experienced in 2000 was part of a disk upgrade. It seems the cable connecting the new disk cabinet was the wrong part number and was too long. This resulted intermitant I/O errors which took a couple of days to track down.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to collect some information on using Compaq TRU64 for a 24*7 high volume, machine critical application using Oracle 8i. Basically, gathering information about howmany of us are using this and what is the typical configuration.
