Ok, so we've been contemplating using one of our 760's for Oracle storage. Discussions with Netapp people made me feel relatively warm and fuzzy about doing this but discussions with our DBA consultants didn't. Specifically they mentioned a situation they had experienced while testing a netapp/oracle environment which would cause total corruption and require restoration from backup. The specific situation is a case where the filer loses power but the DB server doesn't. Their claim is that if this occurs there is no method to recover the DB other than from backup.
Anyone had any experience with Oracle/Netapp or this specific situation? We plan to test this in the next few days, but I wanted to get any insights you all might have.
Thanks,
-Brian
