OFA of Oracle on NT is discussed extensively in Oracle8 & Windows NT
Black Book, ISBN 1-57610-248-3.
There are a number of reasons OFA on NT is not addressed the way it is on Unix. First, NT systems managers like to set up a nice big RAID 5 gigadrive then turn the box over to the DBA. Another reason is that NT's drive names leave much to be desired (C,D,E...Z).
There is absolutely no reason why even on a single instance database one cannot have various levels of RAID and different mount points for each type of Oracle file.
