My co-workers and I are trying to find out if anyone out there is running production Oracle on. We currently have a project in which we have a SAN divided into 51 86.9GB luns (performance). Oracle has been setup on 18 or so partitions and using SVM would be a logistical nightmare as far as manage

I have seen the best oracle performance on ZFS by 1. match the zfs record size to oracle db_block_size 2. use the default 128k record size for oracle logs. 3. If possible use a separate zpool for the oracle logs. This is especially true if your workload has a high write component to it. Two
