Re: Oracle on Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Array

Kevin -

Not to smash your day, but we have had a horrible time with an older version of this array. The main drawback is that the arrays support a grand total of 2 LUNS each. We are actually looking a SAN solution now to replace our 2 T3 arrays. If you have a newer model of the T3s that support more LUNS, you should have much better luck.

Part of our problem may be the fact that damagement was promised fantastic throughput on these devices, yet everything was configured as RAID-5 - for my database. When we went back and split up the arrays with 2 mirrored drives and the rest on RAID-5, we got a significant improvement. However, our SA was forced to destroy everything to do the re-configuration. We've also been hampered by the fact we are not running Veritas File System - just Volume Manager.

YMMV - I hope.
