skottie -- exactly what is this fas940 and fas960? Is this a netapp product that doesn't use NFS? I see no mention of it on netapps site.

Two choices
- mount your oracle database storage spaces via NFS. We're doing this using Linux oracle servers via GigE. Its even a configuration supported by oracle.
- Look at the "fas" product line (fas940 & fas960). In NetApp's theme of multi-protocol filers, the new "fas" line will add support for using a filer to serve up raw disk chunks over fiber channel, SAN-style.
the 940 and 960 can be ordered now; not sure when the SAN attachment features will be available.

Hello,
I would like to know can netapp filer attach to our Solaris server as a DiskArray.
Here is our goal:
We have to Solaris servers will run Oracle database. These two server will have Veritas Server Clustering and also will need a set of DiskArray attach to them. Veritas will control these disk as it own volume.
Thus I would like to know can Netapp filer get involve on what we tryning to do? Or I just have to but DiskArray from Sun.
Any help would appreciated.
Thanks,
