I attended the RAC class and instructor recommended us to install binaries outside the shared disks. primarily because of single point of failure. Also for performance reasons It's good to have local copy of binaries available. Plus shared disk arrays are more expensive than the regular SCSI disks, so it is cheaper and less error prone to install oracle on local disks. Mujeeb Chowdhry

We have two Clariion SANs. The servers I work on have the installs on the local disk. Part of the thinking behind it is if the server completely crashes, they just rebuild and reinstall, and attach the data disks. I am in the Windows world unfortunately.=20

Good luck.

Subject: BINARIES - San or Local Storage

We are in the process of moving to 10G and getting a new SAN EMC Clarion Storage Array. We also MAY be going to RAC. These are Solaris Boxes

The question is I have read conflicing things about whether to put the binaries on the local internal disks or the SAN arrays.

I have always put the binaries on the local internal disk. What do you do
and why? =20

Is the local reads for the binaries that much quicker?
