Last I checked,= Oracle does not provide OCFS for AIX, so if the client needs a clustered file= system, GPFS would be the way to go=2E  Whether or not they need it depends on= what they want to do=2E  You could install the Oracle software on each node= and use ASM for the database storage=2E  However, if you want a shared= ORACLE_HOME or a shared non-ASM logging location, you'll need the clustered file system= =2E
