Oracle configuration on SAN

Dear Listers,

I'm looking for advice on configuring Oracle under a SAN. We just got a new box, an HP UX,
with an HP CASA that's connected to an HP MSA1000 with fourteen 72gb drives configured as
RAID-5 with Advanced Data Guard, and two global hot spares on that drive shelf. All of this is
connected to the HP through two-gb fiber channel host bus adapters. So far, four 75 gb LUNs
have been created so that the primary path to the CASA is shared between the two HBAs,
providing some load balance between the LUNs -- LUN1 & LUN3 on HBA, LUN2 & LUN4 on
the other.

Given, this, are there any recommendations for Oracle's configuration? Control file, redo placement?
Maybe indexes and data placement don't mean as much any more, but files for recovery should be
treated in a different manner.

Any insights or experience would be helpful. Most of the information that I've found is marketing, and
a description of what SANs are. I'm looking for recommendations for Oracle configuration. Everything I
find on OTN sends me to the vendor, but the vendor doesn't have anything specific to Oracle.
