We are implementing MC/Serviceguard here for failover, and I have some questions about configuration/placement of Oracle files.

Our Oracle environment:

Oracle 8.1.6 (64-bit)
HP-UX 11.0 (64-bit)

We are not running OPS. The shared disks are on HP AutoRaid.

Do all Oracle files need to be on the shared disks? I know that the datafiles for all data/index/rbs tablespaces need to be there, as well as the control files and online redo logs. How about datafiles for temp tablespaces or archive logs? One other thing: would it be possible to have the Oracle binaries *not* be on shared disks, so that for Oracle upgrades/patches we could failover, upgrade/patch Oracle on the primary host, then fail back to the primary and upgrade/patch Oracle on the backup host?

Thanks in advance!

Riley
