Folks,

I'm looking for information about the use of a NetApp Filer F740 (from Network Appliance) with Oracle. We are running out of space, and one of the options available to us is to get one of these network appliances. It shows up to the system as a mapped, network drive. I'm interested to know how Oracle treats this network drive when it comes to distributing I/O operations.

What if I have multiple network-mapped drives? Will Oracle parallelize the I/O, or will it treat these drives as if all the files were on one disk drive?

Please send responses to me as well as to the group. I don't follow the list daily.

Thanks,
  Jennifer Amon
