Thanks Fuad.
ZFS for everything , including the databases (9.2 thru 11.1 for now).
ASM wasnt really considered, as we are using EMC SAN and we're happy for storage people to handle those functions.
And note, this is solaris 11.1 , which has only been out for a few months! We have already expereienced some major problems (only 1 / 3 due to solaris though) and wonder if an alternative would be more stable.
Whats your experience been like ?
cheers-
jeff.
