Good question. Well, the hosts are Netbackup Media servers. The idea behind the design is that we stream the RMAN stuff to disk, via NFS mounts, and then write to tape during the day. With the SAN attached disks sitting on these hosts and with disk storage units configured for NBU the data stream only hits the network once, at a quiet time. In this instance the need for high availability is not really there. The real driver behind this of course is probably the same for most companies....cost.
BTW, another question if I may. I noticed that when mounting the ZFS datasets on to individual nodes I have to change the permissions to 777 to allow the oracle user to write to them. It was my understanding that sharenfs=on allows rw by default. Am I doing something wrong here? Again, all help much appreciated.
