But in a production db server, which is backed up by HP DP, is it advisable to mount with noatime?
noatime typically helps when dealing with lots of files, most DB servers have a small number of files that are large in size, so noatime is likely not to provide any noticeable improvement I think.

I do not agree - every read of the db will update the filesystem with noatime missing, thus specifying noatime does give performance improvements - the size of the files does not matter as much - rather the number of reads vs writes. just my $0.02 worth
