Author Sql 2005 on EMC celerra or clarion
AFrog

Hi,
we have many DB that are sql2000. The hope is to unify them to one strong
server connected either by SAN to EMC clarion cx700 , or , thru NAS to the
same disks thru celerra ns702. In the process there will be an upgrade to sql
2005.
Has anyone done anything similar and can share experiance ?
Do you have links to relevant white papers since what I found is relevant
only to Netapp.
Thank you

Hi

NAS is not supported.

SAN is, but direct attached SAN (SCSI, Fiber etc)

Hi,
Not only direct attached, iSCSI on LAN works as well. Set it up myself on
NetApp FAS.

Cheers
Wojtek

Hi,
Can you give me some technical details such as size of the databases and
transactions per time.
Did you do any performance comprisign with your former system?
Thanks for the answer.

Hi,

the data size is about 250 GB. Our system is of rather static nature,
definitely it is no classic OLTP. The typical wueries are reads by id with
joining 3 up to 6 big tables (each 50+ mln records).

However, I did performance comparison between our current setup
(DirectAttachedStora
ge, RAID5) and the new one (SAN via iSCSI through 1GB
LAN). The results were AFAIR 100% to 300% better, it was big improvement.

Wojtek

Hello, how did you split the drives for the improved performance?

Thanks,
