Here is an informative article entitled "Sane SAN", by James Morle that describes the use of SAN and NAS from a database performance perspective. Good reading...

Stefan - By NAS, I assume you mean "Network Attached Storage". We use a Net Appliance on our test server and it works well for the purpose. Basically we have about a dozen Oracle instances which are used infrequently, so it provides tons of cheap storage that isn't used that much. I found out the hard way that you can overwhelm it with too many simultaneous heavy batch jobs. My guess is that with both RAC and NAS the key is to configure the highest-speed dedicated connections possible. Dennis Williams

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if anybody has real "hands-on" experience with either a combination of both RAC and NAS or just running 9i on an NAS. What are the pros and cons ? Does anybody have some input on this topic ? Maybe some helpful links besides technet ?

TIA
Stefan
