This paper covers the installation of NetApp storage in NFS environment for Power Linux on IBM pSeries servers. The servers are running SUSE9 (Power Linux) operating system. The database is Oracle10g Real Application Clusters release 2 (hereafter referred to as Oracle10gR2 RAC) with Oracle Cluster Ready Services (hereafter referred to as Oracle CRS). This is now a certified configuration and, as such, the components presented in this paper have to be used in the same combination to gain support from all parties involved. The only exception to this is the application of certain patches (as defined and required by all the vendors in this configuration). This paper also covers the patches and recommendations for running Oracle10gR2 RAC on NetApp Storage in NFS environment.
