Folks

For subsequent RAC Deployment in ver 10gR2, A Banking customer needs to tak=
e a decision on use of Cluster file system versus ASM?

Prima-facie, How do the 2 compare in terms of Performance, scalability, ava=
ilability, migration, ease of use, backups, need for training etc.

Currently Production Deployment info:-

 *   NON-RAC with Oracle ver 9.2,
 *   Solaris 10.
 *   Database size if 5 TB approx.
 *   Daily peak load of 20,000 Concurrent sessions connecting to the Databa=
se via Shared Servers (MTS).
 *   Database exists on the default Unix File system (UFS),
 *   Machine - SF25K SUN Server.
 *   Storage Box - Sun Store Edge 9980 V
 *   Sun Cluster filesystem is QFS

Any Docs, Links will help.

Cheers & thanks

Vivek
