Carmen, I know one unhappy customer with NetApp. This customer is using Baan. The average wait time for I/O is: db file sequential read 13.7ms db file scattered read 17.9ms The response time in average consists of: 15% of service time and 85% of wait time due to slow I/O. They complain that the average CPU load is only 15-20%. They have also problem with unhappy final users. The supplier tried to improve the performance but with no major change. If somebody would ask me for the advice about NetApp I wouldn't recommend it.

The sysadmin configured a dedicated volume out the the 9tb behemoth with a stripe size of 128k, which he tells me is what tech support told him to. Anybody on the list with a NetApp storage device with Oracle on it? How did you configure it? Wha kind of performance do you get? Any caveats?
