Hi,

I'm interested in people's experiences with SAN, specifically SHARK, and Oracle.

I have adopted a system where all of the Oracle files, including archive, redo, rbs etc, reside on the same "logical" device. I know that the placement of this data is handled by the SAN.

My concern is with the recovery issue, more than with performance. I would like to separate the data from the Oracle files that are required for recovery (archive,redo,rbs,etc). I was hoping to create a separate "logical" device which has it's own physical devices that are separate from the data, and place the recovery files there.

I was told that this is not possible with a SAN. Is this really the case ? thanks for your input.
