No.

I mean that setting up a SCSI-based infrastructure that can be used as the shared disk for RAC requires SCSI adapter cards that comply with the need to provide autotermination and dual-ending capability. And Perc3/DC seems to be one of the few cards that can handle this.

I mean that using Perc3/DC cards eliminates one area of troubleshooting.
