vxfs to zfs conversion and Oracle files

edited Jan 6, 2009 4:41AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
Our Unix Operations group is proposing to migrate the vxfs file systems on our production and development servers to ZFS. My understanding is that they want to use space that is available on an unsupported Hitachi San to do this migration. Has anyone gone through such a migration before, and what are the issues I should be raising at this point? Does this affect the endianess of the files?

I also wonder how this would affect any RMAN backup we would do prior to this migration; would we be able to restore from the RMAN backup onto the new ZFS file system?

Howdy, Stranger!
