Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> SAN, Heterogenous environments, Backups
We are considering implementing a SAN,
using Sun StorEdge SS9970 [OEM from Hitachi], where database
servers will be a mix of Sun Solaris and HP HPUX
running Oracle 8i, 9i, 9iRAC [in phase-2].
As the database files will be on File Systems [Sun or HP],
the solutions provider says that backups of the
HP file systems cannot be done by the backup server
running Solaris.
The proposal is to use "shadow copies". The Sun Engineer
says that the "shadow copy" must be mounted as a file
system on the backup server and as the backup server is
a Sun server it wouldn't be able to mount the HP file system.
How are Heterogenous implementations on a SAN done ? How are backups done ?
