Alexander, Nice reply :-) They are not quite that bad since they don't get that far down into the storage aspect.
Peta, Thanks for the reply. I know they are looking at other options other than SMO, but I'm not sure what yet.
Neto, I'll look through the blogs and see what applies. The DBAs don't even want to talk to use about NFS, I'm pretty sure they won't go out of their comfort zone on this yet.
Thanks,
Jeff

How are you?
Please let me know how I can help. I have a lot of good stuff at my blog: blogs.netapp.com/databases or netofrombrazil.com. Also at twitter at @netofrombrazil
If you want my help to talk to the DBAs to help to define a good architecture, please just let me know.
All the best,
neto NetApp – I love this company!

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
