RE: OFA and RAC on raw devices

Hi Muqthar ,

thanks for you reply.
Some more precisions :

What about the OFA admin subtree (create, pfile, udump,bdump..) ? Did you duplicate it on each node ?

What are the steps in Service Guard to configure failover File system ?

Do you use RMAN for backups ? if yes with autolocate 9i feature ?

If you used soft links for datafiles, it means you have some sort of /oradata/<db_name>/ structure on each node. Right ? Does this prove helpful ?

Regards
