Refer the following white paper at
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA0-0640ENW.pdf

I don't see any performanace evaluation of Oracle DB on XP array white papers etc. being published by HP yet like they have had done for EVAs. I wish we would have such evaluation for XP too.

The attached whitepaper talks about SAP implementations on XP12k and XP10k arrays also using Oracle.

We have dozens of XPs running Oracle manly on HP-UX and Tru64.
One most important thing to achieve highest performance is using a volume manager in order to stripe all data over all available disks.

With the XP you can achieve high performance with highest availability!
