What was unclear about my response?
Did you read it, at all?
You didn't respond to my question.
I was referring to your current database. If your current database
doesn't reside on a RAC compatible filesystem, you would need to move
all your datafiles to a RAC compatible filesystem, and your 'trick'
won't work.
All things being equal, RAW is inflexible, and ASM is preferred.
