Greetings,

My Oracle experience with and without NetApp has largely been non-existent.  Please bear with me on this.  All of our current DBs are on dedicated servers with locally attached storage.

One of our groups has a 6280 cluster running 8.1.2P4 7-mode.  They want to look into using iscsi to a new 11.2 Oracle server.  The cluster can get pretty busy at times so I'm not sure Oracle NFS will work in this case.

The questions are largely about backups and DR.  I'm curious about how most people choose to back this up and how to recover for that solution.  I know there are lun copy options, snapmanager/flex clone options, etc.  We're very open to manual scripting and custom solutions.  Backups would most likely go to a NearStore, and the DR would be a second server connected via iscsi also.

Thanks,

Jeff
