We've got /performance/ reports from another (unnamed) vendor that show their storage solution can "handle the load" because their test case bottlenecks the CPU on an Oracle RAC host. I call these results "can't handle the load" if the test can't identify the load limit (bottleneck) on the storage system. I guess its just semantics (can - can't, just a few letters difference). ;-) Regards, Mike Thomas -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
