That would be difficult, since there was no ASM in 9i.....
I think point number two should have been: 2.) Raw is required with RAC, you don't have a choice.
That's a requirement that used to be true, and went all the way back to the early days of OPS, well before RAC.
I'm not sure if it's still a requirement. ASM is an option, starting w/ 10g, but you'll still need some shared raw storage for ASM to manage.
As to CFSes, I'm not sure what's available/supported on what platform, as far as RAC is concerned. I thought Veritas offered a clustered VxFS that would work w/ RAC, but, don't quote me on that.
We've always been a raw device shop, even for all our single instance databases, so, it was never an issue here.

To the best of my knowledge it's been that way since 9i.

Is point #2 a new requirement for 11g?

Duncan,
I'm in the middle of planning/implementing a RAC on Solaris cluster. The plan is to:
- use Oracle cluster services instead of other clusterware, less finger pointing.
- ASM is mandatory with RAC, you don't have a choice.
