Re: 10g to RAC - what to do to avoid data duplication ?

Actually, BAARF gang fell asleep. If you want to learn what is ASM and

ASM is a license requiremen for the implementation of RAC with Standard

Telling people they probably don't need it might lead some to violate
their license.

There are still people that are unaware that ASM doesn't work for
anything except for database files. I don't tell people they don't
need ASM as much as I remind people they will still need raw or CFS
for clusterware files and filesystems for all the other stuff. What I
do suggest is that you choose a storage type that satisfies 100% of
all your database needs and go with it. It turns out that the only
storage type that fits the bill across all Unix variants (including
Linux) is NFS as served up by a NAS device.

I agree and no doubt NetApp would agree as they are the only approved
source for the CFS.

Some people, however, have EMC, LSI, Fujitsu, Hitachi, etc. and do not
have that option.

If you choose SE you can still use ASM on NFS...
