Hi Bruno, We ran Solaris 2.6 with ASE 12.0 for a while with the devices on our F820 and F880 but ran into some major performance issues. Mostly related to network throughput. Once we moved to 2.8 and SUN 2.0 Gigabit NICS, these problems disappeared. I am not a sybase expert, but I know we have a separate volume that we perform sybase dumps to. We ftp the dumps daily to a F820 at our Disaster Recovery site. This process works fine as long as we have bandwidth available on the WAN. We would have preferred to use Snapmirror, but that requires ASE 12.5 and a special quiesce procedure. You can find more on this at the NetApp NOW website, I think the article is a whitepaper on Sybase Disaster Recovery.
If you have any more specific questions, let me know, I may be able have a chat to our Sybase Architect.
Thanks, Aaron

Has anyone got experience with doing Sybase (ASE 12.5, Solaris 2.6 and 2.8) dump on NetApp filers ?
I am looking for recommendations on this subject: what is the best architecture ? What are the traps to be avoided? Perfomances ? Etc.
Thank you for your help.
Bruno.
