I bet you use UFS for root/swap
So you think its easier to get your storage team to adopt a new NAS
based server infrastructure than a new filesystem? I still think
shipping ZFS snapshots around local disks is a great way to
efficiently do bulk replication of read-only content. Its bundled for
I would look at what Oracle is doing with 11i, and try to replicate
whatever configuration they have done most testing with, whatever they
recommend as a best practice.
IMHO automating patch installation, and fast replication of
installations between systems is an easier class of problem to solve
I think you need to stand back from the problem and figure out what
you are trying to achieve by sharing the Oracle installation, and
whether that benefit outweighs the complexity of the solution needed
to get there.
For mission critical installations, minimizing the number of single

Now, I have a some follow up questions:
- Based on your comments, would it be true to say that NAS offers no additional
level of security than what

HI Hameed,
1st of all, if you talk aobut NAS, what are you talking about?
a somwhow designed "head" serving:
NFS
SMB
iSCSI
or others..
So in the end you "NAS" is working with the standart protocolls.
Therefor your NAS is not more secure/faster than limitations of the
coresponding protocol.
