Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: SAN and ORACLE
Greg,
Thanks for your input.
If I'm understanding you correctly, the
two file systems reside on separate physical
disks. So, if one filesystem gets trashed you
will still the other. Am I right ?
If that's the case, then this configuration is doable with a SAN.
thanks.
