Well, there are backup products like Commvault, which can use non-EMC array for cloning Oracle. As a matter of fact, the last array on which I have configured database cloning was Oracle ZFS Appliance, and it works well. For the ZFS appliance, we only support iSCSI and FC attached storage, no NFS. We can even do a heterogeneous cloning, between different arrays. There is a stipulation: we do not convert between platforms, the target platform must be the same as the source platform. Regards
