Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: db datafiles on NetApp FAS940 filer
Carmen
We have a NetApp, but it is a couple of years old by now. Since it is a Network Attached device, it's network connection to the server is the critical piece. Ours is a dedicated 10MBS circuit, which is too slow, but was all that was available then. Hopefully you have a 100MBS connection.
Because of the slow connection, I discovered that heavy bi-directional use tended to cause the performance to choke.
You don't say what your intended purpose. Our NetApp is fine for test databases, but we haven't used it for production work. Test it and see how it works for your application.

Subject: db datafiles on NetApp FAS940 filer
I am experimenting with creating tablespaces/datafiles on a new NetApp filer we got installed.
The sysadmin configured a dedicated volume out the the 9tb behemoth with a stripe size of 128k, which he tells me is what tech support told him to.
Anybody on the list with a NetApp storage device with Oracle on it? How did you configure it? Wha kind of performance do you get? Any caveats?
Thanks,
