Oracle 10g certification on Solaris SPARC using the ZFS file system is now complete. Oracle has a support note posted in the certification section on metalink (support registration required). This brings the huge advantages of ZFS (simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability) to implementations of Oracle Database 10gR2 (10.2.0.3 and higher patches). This applies to single-instance (non-RAC) deployments on Solaris 10 SPARC. Two guides will come in handy when setting this up:
We'll be working on more best practices documents for the ZFS & 10g combination, in particular, support for more advanced ZFS features. As mentioned in earlier posts, LDOMs and Containers also have certification with Oracle 10g.
