Re: Oracle / NFS performance test

NetApp has quite a few articles about NAS & Oracle.

Re: Oracle / NFS performance test

NFS is simply not reliable enough for a database UNLESS the network is dedicated. Letting PCs and other junk on the NFS network is a recipe to total meltdown. And as mentioned, NFS on 100Mbit is *way* slower than the slowest SCSI disks. Before you risk production data over NFS, get a copy of Dave Olker's book on NFS for HP-UX. Note that for optimum performance, you may need to change parameters in the NAS device--which might not be possible.
