A (former) customer of mine uses NetApp with 1GB network, Oracle 8 on AIX. The biggest problem was configuring the system with only a few volumes/mountpoints. On AIX that developed a lot of contention. Creating more mountpoints to spread the IO helped, even though there was only one NIC. This was discoverd after I left the site because I wouldn't work with the damagement any longer. Anjo has been in there later. Maybe he has some details.
