Actually we have some quite large (2TB+) Oracle Test/Trng databases using ATA drives in a Clariion CX700 arrays and get decent performance out of those. Of course that is hardware RAID. Not sure what the SUN Thumper uses.
The database on NBU is relatively small by comparison though at the moment we do still have ours on EMC Symmetrix (DMX3) but that is more for the warm fuzzy we get from Symmetrix reliability. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Wilts Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 12:44 PM To: Jim Horalek Cc: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Master Server on a SUN Thumper?

Why would you want it on SATA? I don't imagine that many database operations are going to any fun at all... You could, on the other hand, put a DSSU or DSU on your master on SATA but that would be providing media server functionality, not master server functionality. I'd be okay with doing that (and am doing it here). -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
