Hi,
we are allready running what you describe....Oracle 10 on SLES9 with FAS6070 in the background.
We have a script which puts the database into backup-mode and then creates a snapshot which is mirrored asynchronus onto a nearstore.
Nevertheless if your database has high randomload and suffers from high RTT than you will not be very lucky with running it on a nearstore but as a disaster-plan it is OK.
Best regards
Jochen

Hello all,
We are about to start testing Oracle 9i (single instance) with NetApp NAS (6070) filers. We currently have Oracle running on Solaris 9 with SAN storage attached and VERITAS.
We know that Oracle is supported on NAS, and we should have a great success potential. We also plan to synchronously mirror the data to another NAS system (R200). My question is following, can we put the database in a hot backup mode, then take a snapshot of the database file system. We will then break the mirroring, and start the database on another server that is mounting the database file system from the R200?
Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.......
