Oracle on Diskless machine?

I have a few questions, that may be answered in the Oracle DBA FAQ (if so please
forgive).



    
  
  1.   Does Oracle support NFS file systems? That is, can Oracle run on
	a diskless (or dataless) unix system?

  
  2.   If so, what are some of the tradeoffs of a "BIG-Fast" NFS file server and
	a diskless workstation running Oracle, versus a mid-size system running
	Oracle and serving disks, and additionally an mid-size NFS file server?
	Assume all systems are protected by UPS.






The reason I ask is that we are comparing price, performance, support and
licencing costs, and reliability of these two architectures, and I am looking
for data and/or opinions.  Has anyone out there used this CPU server / File
Server approach?  If so, what has your experience been (do you still use it)?



Please respond to me by e-mail (davec_at_lmc.com), and I will summarize the
responses.



Thanks,


Dave Clark
