RE: Anybody using Network Applicance Storage boxes with Oracle?

We are using NetApps for last four years that are NFS mounted for all our storage needs including Oracle. We have all our oracle files on NetApps (data files, redo logs, archived logs, ...). We are keeping mirrors or redo logs, control file, archived logs on a local disk. We have never experienced any problem with the NetApp performance. The database is 24x7 and last year we were up 99.99%. We are regularly generating snapshots so we can recover accidentally deleted files (I am not talking of oracle files here :-) ). We are planning to start using snapshots as a part of our backup procedures to keep tablespaces in the backup mode least possible time.

The databases we are currently running on NetApp are OLTP (or say a mixture of OLTP and DS). We are planning to start a DW database that is going to be run of NetApp as well.
