SAN Storage Usage Question

 Hi all:

I am creating an Oracle Rac (11.2.0.2) on Windows 2008 R2. I am using a SAN for the storage which I will have a 1.5 tb of storage. Now I am going to be making the extended drive into smaller logical drives as follows.

OCR_VOTE   1024MB    normal redundancy

OCR_VOTE   1024MB    normal redundancy

OCR_VOTE   1024MB    normal redundancy

ASM  DATADISKGP01                    600GB  external redundancy (RAID 1+0)

           FLASHBACKDISKGP01      600GB  external redundancy (RAID 1+0)

UNKNOWN      296GB  external redundancy (RAID 1+0)

So that is 5 logical drives. The first 4 are going to be stamped as ASM drives.

My question is about the 5th drive. I want this shared drive to be used for storing backups, scripts, and any other files I need. What would be your suggestion as a filesystem to use so that I can access it from both nodes and store files that are visible to the user. Should it be OCFS, OCFS2 or RAW. And if suggesting one of the OCFS where can I find a good setup document.Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
