Performance Comparison of Netapp FAS6070c and FAS980c Using Oracle10g RAC

Overview The NetApp FAS6070 storage system was designed to handle the most demanding enterprise applications. It utilizes the latest technology, 64-bit CPU architecture, and four times as much memory as the workhorse FAS980. In order to provide a known point of comparison, it recently ran a series of performance tests comparing the FAS6070C to the FAS980C. An Oracle10g RAC database running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 was used to generate an OLTP test load. OCFS2 file systems were used for Oracle data files, log files, and control files. The paper uses NetApp LUNs provisioned over FCP for OCFS2 file systems, the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) disk, and the Oracle Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS) voting disk. The database was roughly 350GB in size.
