We have oracle running on F740 with HPN4000. Performance degrades if more than 80users tries to access the data. Maximum IO 19MB/s for read 20MB/s for writes. Even raw IO dosnt cross 19MB/s whereas Filer spec says 25MB/s possible. I dont know how NFS performs in a SUN/Filer combination.

As long as your NFS lock manager is running on the database server, you
will
have no problems at all. The only thing I suggest is order 2 more local disks to keep your redo logs on. Other than that, if I have to run
Oracle,
I run it on a filer.

We are considering licensing Oracle8ise (the standard edition, not Oracle8iee) for a limited database application.
We are not familiar with running a database manager while maintaining the database on an NFS server, but gather that quite a number of people that subscribe to toasters are using Oracle with NetApp servers.
Should we anticipate any problems with this edition of Oracle running on a Sun Solaris system while the data is stored on an F740 running 5.3.4R2?
Thanks.
