Matt,

Are you sure? I see no technical reason why this would be a problem with the following stipulations:
1. You can't have different OSes.
2. You must use Oracle Clusterware, have shared storage, and have clustered ASM.

Given those two requirements, I think you could do this with multiple single-instance databases on different nodes. Those nodes would be clustered for purposes of sharing ASM disk groups.

All that said, I haven't tried it, but I have thought about the feasibility several times and those that I've talked to about it didn't think it would be a technical issue. Now, why you'd do this when an OCFS2 filesystem achieves the same purpose with somewhat less complexity (IMO) is another discussion.

Hi all, I’m wandering is possible to have different computers using the same disk groups in ASM without RAC? Even on different O/S ?

 

The main idea is to define a share area for all the development databases.
