Last I new placing the catalog on a mount from NetApp was not supported
and can cause serious performance issues especially on large catalogs.
In my past job as a VERITAS consultant I worked on an account that had a
serious performance problem on a 1TB + catalog mounted from a NetApp.
It wasn't supported then (about a year ago) and we did see significant
performance improvements when we did tests on the site on SAN attached
disk Versus the NFS mounted file system.

I am talking about NAS attached and not SAN. Believe me there is a
difference between these two.

Thanks,

I am running out of space on my internal drives. I am also thinking
about migrating to a new server. Anybody moved from local file system to
shared storage. Almost all of my backups are NDMP (Netapps), and as the
number of files are growing so is the Catalog. What are the pros and
cons?

Any input?

Thanks,=20
