Hi Bruno,
We ran Solaris 2.6 with ASE 12.0 for a while with the devices on our F820
and F880 but ran into some major performance issues. Mostly related to
network throughput. Once we moved to 2.8 and SUN 2.0 Gigabit NICS, these
problems disappeared.
I am not a sybase expert, but I know we have a separate volume that we
perform sybase dumps to. We ftp the dumps daily to a F820 at our Disaster
Recovery site. This process works fine as long as we have bandwidth
available on the WAN. We would have preferred to use Snapmirror, but that
requires ASE 12.5 and a special quiesce procedure. You can find more on this
at the NetApp NOW website, I think the article is a whitepaper on Sybase
Disaster Recovery.
If you have any more specific questions, let me know, I may be able have a
chat to our Sybase Architect.
Thanks,
Aaron

Subject:
Has anyone got experience with doing Sybase (ASE 12.5, Solaris 2.6 and 2.8)
dump on NetApp filers ?
I am looking for recommendations on this subject: what is the best
architecture ? What are the traps to be avoided? Perfomances ? Etc.
Thank you for your help.
Bruno.
