This is another post that for a particular customer (Hi folks!) on a topic that comes up frequently, so here I am posting again.
Currently shipping ONTAP AFF systems will by default to use the most appropriate settings, which means inline deduplication, compression, and compaction.
I got a reply to the previous post about ASM and NFS that contained the dreaded question:
Does oracle/netapp have any best practice on this ?
We are seeing a lot of customers who are concerned that NFS has been desupported in RAC with 12cR2. We got the same concerns with 12cR1.
I’m the author of TR-3633, which covers the use of ONTAP space efficiency features with Oracle databases, but here’s a longer explanation of the options.
I started experimenting with Oracle on Docker a few months ago.
I’ve just published two new TR’s covering Oracle Databases on ONTAP:
Database Data Protection: Backup, Recovery, Replication, and DR

Oracle on MetroCluster: Integrated Data Protection, Disaster Recovery, and High Availability

Anybody out there modifying the Oracle RAC parameter called misscount?
