Figure 3 –System components: Test phase 1 typical RMAN based backup
We used Quest Benchmark Factory to simulate a TPC-C workload of 4000 concurrent users on the
production database (Size = 200GB). The production database volumes resided on the EqualLogic
PS6010XV array (15K SAS drives) and the backup target volumes were stored on the EqualLogic
PS6010E array (SATA drives). The disk-to-disk backup and recovery operations from SAS to SATA
drives were performed using the same database. We ran the following test sequence:
• Full database backup while running the TPC-C database workload
• Database recovery from full backup
