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@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
