HP Scalable NAS for Oracle Solution
Don Sullivan, Hewlett Packard

The HP Scalable NAS for Oracle Solution set consists of a variety of flexible configurations all of which simplify storage and server provisioning along with providing High Availability through a maximum of 16 NAS heads for storage access when running Oracle over NFS. The Enterprise Fileserving Cluster Gateway (EFS-CGW) includes Proliant servers, performing as the NAS heads, which run the HP Scalable NAS clustering software while allowing the customer to choose their own form of Storage. The NAS 4400 is an Oracle Ready storage appliance that includes Proliant Servers and an EVA 4400. Both of these solutions are managed through a single graphical user interface. The HP Scalable NAS software provides symmetrical multi-headed access to the entire logical storage array as opposed to the more well-known NAS paradigms, single-headed filers or asymmetrical multi-headed systems. When using HP Scalable NAS the client system can access all data from all NAS heads at all times through customer defined virtual hosts. The administrator can create and extended volumes and filesystems in minutes through the GUI. Filesystems can be created to contain all Oracle related file types including database files, oracle binaries for the server and Oracle Applications, archive logs, RAC files, external tables, loader files and more. The system supports both RAC and non-RAC implementations and is version independent. The use of Direct-NFS (DNFS) is also supported.
