Well, there are backup products like Commvault, which can use non-EMC
array for cloning Oracle. As a matter of fact, the last array on which I
have configured database cloning was Oracle ZFS Appliance, and it works
well. For the ZFS appliance, we only support iSCSI and FC attached
storage, no NFS. We can even do a heterogeneous cloning, between
different arrays. There is a stipulation: we do not convert between
platforms, the target platform must be the same as the source platform.

At the time I left Oracle - well, more when Oracle left me! :) - those two were documented because they had been tested and Oracle knew they worked. Others may work (I have no inside information confirming or denying that) but they had not been tested and were therefore unsupported. Of course, that's in exact opposition to Oracle's other statements around storage that so long as it works with the OS Oracle can work with it, so who knows where the truth really lies? :)

Subject:
DB snap clone on non emc san, is it possible?
I am reading docs/papers and it claims Oracle can do snap clones
on EMC San and ASM. However it doesn't say (or I didn't catch it)
that the feature is unsupported on non-EMC San. Has anyone
explored this on non emc san? Did it work?
Thanks in advance
Raj
