I'm one of a small team that supports a SUN6500 environment with Oracle 7 on a 760 Filer. The interface is dual Gigabit Ethernet fiber using round-robin. The cards are SBus and although performance is good we intend fitting PCI cards. Solaris 2.6 and 6.01 on the filer. Initially there were performance issues but the logfiles were moved to local disk (18GB mirror), Oracle tuned a bit and it goes like a rocket. Supporting approx 1400 users. Snapshots with hotbackup mean that availability is almost 24x7. Netapp whitepapers on 'Oracle on the filer' are a good starting point. Can't recall any 'negative' experiences actually !.

Of those who run Oracle on Netapp, how do you feel about it? I recently received an e-mail in which a Sun rep stated they gave up running Oracle on NetApp over a year ago. "Gave up" implies there were issues that were not easily overcome.
According to NetApp, Ontap is "really a database file system". The technical specs on Ontap seem to back this up, but many people shy away from the idea. Granted, most of the people knocking the idea are other storage vendors or VAR's but some concern in the admin community I've spoken with revolve around NetApp being NAS and not DAFS or SAN.
I'm looking for experiences, both positive and negative, from anyone doing this.
Thanks.
Can share the parameters that u tuned. I have F840 with HP N4000 for 500 users and have serious performance problem.
