I currently run oracle with apps 10.7 on an N4000, 4x440Mhz. The disk is in 2 SC10 arrays with mirroring. The system performs well. We are upgrading to oracle11i apps and will be getting a bigger server (prob an rp7410 w/4 750MHz). I am looking at disk solutions. Though the SC10s work fine in our current situation I want to improve our IO capacity. I am looking at 2 FC10 arrays or a VA7100 or 7110 array. I am leaning towards the 7100 - since it is not much more than 2 FC10s. Is this a good choice for a limited budget? The 7110 is expandable - but is a 7110 with 30 disks more than 2 7100s with 15 disks? What kind of performance should I see compared with my SC10s? Is my data safer in the 7100 than with the FC10s? Also how difficult is disk management with the 71xx arrays? Thanks for your comments.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionMirroring SC10 or FC10 is done with software. VA7110 does it internally with its firmware. I think that firmware/hardware mirroring should be more reliable and fast than software one

Re: advice for storage on new server
You might want to take a look at the EVA line (the EVA 3000 would probably suite your budget and is quite more cost-effective than the "heavies" out there -- ie. the HP XP line (actually a rebadged Hitachi frame), IBM Shark or EMC Centera/Clarion... Of course going with an HP product (Compaq Actually) like EVA would be more advantageous in your situation -- 1 vendor to blame and ask hep from - if problems arise

Re: advice for storage on new server
The solution depends on the capacity you need. for instance, if you currently have 20 36GB drives in the SC10s, then you have 360GB available. The cheapest solution would then be to use a DS2300 with 12 73GB drives which would give you the same capacity but the throughput would be 160MB/s.

Re: advice for storage on new server
Now, let me add, as someone who just finished their 10.7 to 11i upgrade. Disk throughput will likely be the least of your performance problems! Be sure your new system has plenty of RAM and run the 64-bit version of the database, if you're not doing so already! We ran a lot of performance test scenarios and the one thing that helped more than anything else, was to run the database with an SGA of at least 3 GB.
