I have netapp storage fs250, I would like to connect a redhat server to it, I have two options:<br />
1- NFS mount<br />
2- ISCSI<br />
Which one is better and why? <br />
Also, how I can do multipath mounting? I have only 2 network card attached to the NetApp, one is for NFS/CIFS connected to the normal LAN, and the other one is ISCSI connected to a special VLAN. How I can do multipath with that?<br />
<br />
finally, is it recommended to move Oracle file (dbf and control) files to the netapp through nfs and iscsi? <br />
<br />
Please let me know.<br />

NetApp with Oracle

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.

Network Operations

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
