I have run DBED for Oracle using A5200's with excellent results. This site was designed to be clustered, but VCS was not implemented. Veritas lists the hardware requirements for DBED/AC for Oracle 9i as: "Storage device that supports SCSI-III Persistent Group Reservations ". It would seem odd for Veritas to exclude the Sun StorEdge products.

Oracle World will be in San Franciso Nov 10-14. The exhibition floor would be a good place to visit both Sun and Veritas...I received excellent answers to my storage questions there last year.
