OCFS/2 - ASM ( Why )
our environment Oracle Ebiz on OEL 4.X
oracle 10g and 11g
Three Node RAC + Three Node Application Cluster Load Balanced via Big-IP
we use to have issues with Cluster ware and OCFS/2 when we were on IBM AIX but now for past 3 years hardly any issue with OCFS or Cluster ware.
I look at ASM and I recall running Oracle Parallel Servers using RAW devices and then I thought using RAW devices were easy and not much to them but it seems to me ASM has lot more baggage and more complicated to setup, support and ongoing maintenance is cumbersome.
