Agreed 100% - I'd go even farther and say, to the best of my knowledge, no sort of disk subsystem/split-mirror technology can prevent fractured blocks during an Oracle hotbackup. All of the ones I've had experience with require the begin/end backup command (unless of course the TS is read-only or offline).
