Yes, that is what we do.
So what does reside on the server? Just the files I mentioned or do you have more files specific to that system? I am really pushing this one because I want to make a class in cfengine for informix servers.
All the Informix software stays on the filer. The only thing on local disk it the OS stuff you mentioned.
In the event that logical logs are still required we would write themto mirrored internal drives. Has anyone managed to write these logs to nfs?
We haven't tried that.
Where do your logical logs go now then?
We back them up using onbar with NetBackup. This was the way we were doing it before we went to NetApp, and we essentially left it alone (for now).
