Now there is scalable, modular, high performance NAS for Oracle10g RAC and non-RAC with no single point of failure. This proof of concept shows that the new HP Enterprise File Server Clustered Gateway (EFS-CG) is the only scalable, highly available option when NAS is used as the storage architecture for Oracle. In fact, the Clustered Gateway allows customers to leverage existing SAN infrastructure such as HP, EMC, and Hitachi Data Systems. This paper focuses on a Proof of Concept of Oracle10g R2 Real Application Clusters with the EFS-CG as storage for all database files, Oracle Clusterware files, Oracle Home and External Tables. The paper also includes Oracle10g R2 performance results with I/O-intensive Oracle workloads.
