We are a big netapp shop in hosting business. We do server tons of pages
thru NFS mounts. The NFS link from reliable, and even a private-gig
connection can be established for mount. I was hoping may be somebody has
done it, and how was their experience.
Now are the days when Oracle over NFS is supported and works great. It can
be really a great thing to have for DR, if this can be done.
Once again what I am trying to do is
0)Stop netbackup/remove from startup etc etc
1) mount netapp:/mountpoint /mnt
2) tar or cp of whatever i.e cp -pr /usr/openv /mnt
3) umount /mnt; mount netapp:/mountpoint /usr/openv
4)start netbackup
It seems that simple and tempting
Thanks,
