Question...in regards to an opportunity to replace HDS at a large SAP account
At a large SAP customer site who is running HDS storage platforms, they are seing "issues with Snaps/Clones with DB2 that causes the DB to freeze or cause some sort of issue" (from EMC DM).
We have a SAP basis champion in this account that is interested in helping us replace HDS. Has anyone heard of this issue with DB2 for SAP on HDS storage using snaps/clones? If so, we would like to hear about it and share with our champion in our campaign.
Thank you
Henrik

Henrik,
Couple of questions; any idea what the host OS is? Are they using multipathing? And what technology they are using to make snaphots/clones?

Henrik,
With the limited info I did check the SAP knowledge bases. Many DB2 hang situations but no recent ones around HDS that I could find. The customer would have opened an SAP OSS message for the issue. Your champion should get a copy of that message to explain the issue fully. The EMC techical competive analysis group compared VMAX to the HDS VSP / P9500 and would have lots of info to talk to.
Good Luck.
