Our sys-admin insists on creating filesystems for Oracle on rootdg, but I seem to recall there are some risks in doing this. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

Suzy,

This is from the older version, 2.2 but still might help you out:

    http://eval.veritas.com/downloads/pro/dbed22_best_practices_paper.pdf

The only oracle thing I ever put on the rootdg is the Oracle Binaries. But, if we have enough disks in the machine, I will create a separate DG for them. Datafiles belong on their own DG's/volumes based on the layout you prefer.
