what does "NFS of CFS" mean? Exporting a CFS? Yeah, that's being done. It's called the StorageWorks Enterprise File Server Clustered Gateway by HP. Up to 16 nodes of scalable NFS with transparent NFS client failover in the event a NAS head should fail. And when I say transparent, I mean it. Oracle CRS, and database processes have no idea that the NAS head serviing up their files has died. Not exactly the typical filer experience. Yeah, I know you can "cluster" and replicate filers. The HP EFS/CG requires no replication for this high availability/ scalability. Want to know how I know ?
