Does anyone here have any experience (good or bad) using the IBM Shark Disk Arrays with Oracle? From what the salesperson is saying, it appears that the drive array will only run in RAID 5. However, they are stating that this system will not have the normal penalties of RAID 5. We really want some "real world" users to let us know if this is actually true, and how they work for you.

Also, this system will be used as the san for all of our Sun machines (which run the Oracle db's). Any comments of good/bad experiences with the Sun with IBM Shark disk array would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any and all comments.
