Jeff and Tim, Thanks for your quick responses. I am actually reviewing TR-3633 right now. Any other tips regarding data protection and replication? I know SnapCenter is not an option; is SnapCreator still a possibility? Minimally they are looking to do SnapMirrors to a DR system throughout the day and consistent Snapshots, while not a requirement, would be a plus. They already have a procedure where they shut down the database nightly to perform a cold backup but if we can provide any improvements on this it would be a win. Regards, André M.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I have a client that has an old HP-UX (11.23) server that currently has FC mounts to an even older CX3. It has already been ruled out on moving this workload to FCP on their ONTAP cluster (9.6P3) as the system is outside of the IMT. What I am proposing to them is moving this workload over to NFS and see if it would meet the very low application requirements. The main workload is an Oracle 8i (8.17) database that has extremely low transactions. My question is are there any gotchas or specific settings that should be employed regarding NFS mounts and HPUX? I have reviewed TR-4067 (quickly) and KB and the two items that stuck out (qtree exports and NFSv4) are items that I was not proposing on using. Anything else to be aware of? Many thanks in advance Regards, André M. Clark _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list [email protected] https://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
