Running Datapump import on Dump file located on NFS Mounted Partition
We are using databaseOracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.4) on IBM AIX 6.1 Platform. We have 3 Test servers on which testing on different business issues is performed. To create Test environment, we import the Dump of Production Schema on Test server using Oracle Datapump utility. Our Dump file size has reached to 700 GB. We have a partition called /dump of 800 GB on each Test server on which we place our dump file and import a particular day's export. So that we are consuming 2400 GB of space on each server.
To save space, we have planned to create a common partition of 800 GB and NFS mount it on all 3 servers. The benefit of this approach that we consider is the space conservation. Please let us know is it feasible solution that our 700 GB dump file is placed on NFS mounted disk and we do import on a local partition? What kind of performane issue we may face in this approach?
