Re: question regarding NFS mounted devices

It all depends!

We have a small Oracle instance with low traffic that uses a Netapp server for the data and redo log files (all our other instances are on dedicated Unix boxes). It's been stable except for one occasion when someone changed something in the network configuration that affected the lock daemon. The instance refused to start - it simply froze with no error message. It took a few days to pin-point the problem.

Of course, if you use Netapp, then your Oracle instance must compete with other applications for disk and network resources. You also increase the number of components on which you depend (network & NFS server).
