Re: add node , oracle software a bit error

FWIW, I'm in the same boat--"it depends", but I have very rarely heard compelling arguments for using a shared OH. I just talked with another customer this morning that is very much looking forward to their 9i->10g RAC upgrade/migration so that they can eliminate the shared OH from their environment.

Well, there are two groups - some believe that shared oracle homes are better from manageability and reliability and others prefer non-shared installations.

Both have their arguments and there is a third group that would say "it depends". I probably belong to the third group but lean more towards non-shared homes as a more reliable option.
