Test assumptions
 These configurations are examples; there are many additional server/storage options which could
also meet the workload requirements.
 Testing has not been performed to date on each of these exact configurations. The configurations
are based on best practices, benchmarks, extrapolation based on current test knowledge, and
performance assumptions through discussions with Oracle and HP experts.
 No consideration at this point has been given for spares, recovery storage groups, clusters, etc.;
nevertheless, all of these options can be added to the base configurations.
Note:
One PCIe Pass Thru Card is required with each Memory Array and is used
to connect the array to the external server. The card must be installed in the
target server (for the PCI-direct attach method)
