Currently this cluster uses ASM to SAN for db storage, and some SAN storage connected as local filesystem (JFS2) drives. I am not NFS savvy at all. Is there a way to configure the RAC servers to host the NFS mounts, and have them failover (automatic or manual) to the other server? We are trying to make the NFS hosting as robust as possible. We also do not have GPFS (IBM's clustering file system). If this was Linux, we could possibly use OCFS2 and mount that, but as far as sharing via NFS and failover I don't know if that would work. Any suggestions ? -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
