> Do you know if 10g Clusterware requires ASM?

From the "Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux" docco, chapter 3 ...

Database files consist of the files that make up the database, and the recovery area files. There are four options for storing database files:

Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS)
Network File System (NFS)
Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
Raw partitions (Database files only--not for the recovery area)

During configuration of Oracle Clusterware, if you selected OCFS or NFS, and the volumes that you created are large enough to hold the database files and recovery files, then you have completed required pre-installation steps. You can proceed to Chapter 4, "Installing Oracle Clusterware".
