Very Computer

We are a small software development company in the process of
configuring an OPS environment. Our environment will consist of:
Oracle 8.1.7 - OPS
Veritas Database Edition/Advanced Cluster 1.0 for Oracle8i
(2) Enterprise 450 servers running Solaris 8

The missing link is the disk array. The only disk arrays supported by
Veritas for the Database Edition/Advanced Cluster 1.0 are the EMC
Symmetrix or Hitachi 9900 series. These storage systems are more than
what we need in our development environment. I'm looking to see if
there is anyone out there who is running the Veritas Database Edition
with a Sun A5200 or similar storage system.

Thank you.

I have run DBED for Oracle using A5200's with excellent results.  This site
was designed to be clustered, but VCS was not implemented.  Veritas lists
the hardware requirements for DBED/AC for Oracle 9i as: "Storage device that
supports SCSI-III Persistent Group Reservations ".  It would seem odd for
Veritas to exclude the Sun StorEdge products.

Oracle World will be in San Franciso Nov 10-14.  The exhibition floor would
be a good place to visit both Sun and Veritas...I received excellent answers
to my storage questions there last year.
