Fellow Listers,

If you don't deal with Oracle databases on SAN/NAS environments, this posting may not interest you. If so, my apologies, please delete this. Otherwise, please read on.

In an effort to better understand what issues you face when deploying an Oracle database in a SAN/NAS environment, I am writing to you to get some "real life" feedback. Although I have a fair idea, where some of the pain lies, it would be much more valuable if you could tell me. Kind of like "From the horse's mouth..."...;-) And I truly meant that as a compliment...:-)

My goal is to fully understand where the "real pain" lies, so that appropriate solutions can be built to alleviate or even eliminate the pain. You can be as broad or narrow in your responses using the following topics as guidelines:

Initial SAN/NAS Configuration for Database Creation and Application Deployment
Ongoing Storage Volume Management in a SAN/NAS
Ongoing Storage Administration (Growth, Resizing)
Performance Optimization & Troubleshooting
Things that require automation
Anything else you think is important that I have missed

I do really appreciate you taking the time to put your feedback in "black and white". Those of you who take the time and effort to provide feedback, will be entered in a raffle to for some T-shirts and other freebies. Oh, BTW, when you do send your response, please provide your full contact information, so that I know where to mail the goodies.

In the interest of not "flooding the list", please send me your feedback directly to gaja_at_veritas.com. As a courtesy to my fellow listers, I will collate all responses and post a summary in the near future. You can count on me to do that.

Best regards,

Gaja
