Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:Mass Storage/Network Stuff
Ed,
The answer is yes and no, or more accurately it depends. First off there are only two storage vendors, to my knowledge, certified by Oracle for this. They are Net Appliance and EMC. The reason is that they have software and hardware that 'guarantees' to get the data from the buffers to the drives. Secondly you need absolutely dedicated TCP/IP connectivity between the computer and the storage array. Look at it as replacing scsi adapters and cables with network cards and cables.

Are there any problems running Oracle on one box, and pointing the database files to a mass storage network device (ie. a disk array or some external storage solution). In other words, will Oracle run using network addressable storage? I'm assuming this is not a difficult thing to do, but I would love to hear some war stories.
Any configuration or specific recommendations on how to do this? Unix/NT an issue?
Best,
Ed
