Re: ASM over SLVM

Kevin,
As mentioned earlier:
.
SLVM provides active/standby multi-pathing support for RAC and
single instance ("pvlinks") 
.
Secure path is also being used, so would pvlinks still be necessary, any idea?

Thanks

Yes, those are some of the features listed in the HP doc's for why SLVM over ASM.
Just wondering though, has anyone done this ? The way I described in in my earlier post - is that how it would go down?

    *Each ASM disk group member must be a SLVM raw logical volume 
    *SLVM provides active/standby multi-pathing support for RAC and
single instance ("pvlinks") 
    *Leverage cluster-wide device
 name feature of SLVM 
         
    that same info from HP says consider using the full oracle stack
(ie. no SGe for RAC) when using ASM.
     
    any good reasons for using SGe and ASM?
    
...global device naming alone makes it worth it. Doesn't SLVM also get
you some MPIO? Too many
things missing in an Oracle-only stack to keep track of
