Hello All,

I need to configure Oracle 9i RAC on MS-Windows 2000. I will be using Oracle Clustered File System for datafiles. I just need to know if the srvcfg and spfile file will reside on raw partition or on clustered file system. The Oracle documentation - Oracle9 i Real Application Clusters - Setup and Configuration Part No. A96600-02 states that:

"On Windows NT and Windows 2000, configure a Cluster Manager (CM) voting disk/SRVM Configuration Disk. Label this raw partition as srvcfg by creating an Object Link Manager (OLM) symbolic link to a raw partition that is at least
100MB in size."

The above scenario will apply if I configure datafiles on RAW partitions. But I will be using OCFS for datafiles. So please reply if I can use OCFS for srvcfg and spfile files or should I configure raw partitions to hold the same.
