Folks

For subsequent RAC Deployment in ver 10gR2, A Banking customer needs to take a decision on use of Cluster file system versus ASM?

Prima-facie, How do the 2 compare in terms of Performance, scalability, availability, migration, ease of use, backups, need for training etc.

Currently Production Deployment info:-

• NON-RAC with Oracle ver 9.2,
• Solaris 10.
• Database size if 5 TB approx.
• Daily peak load of 20,000 Concurrent sessions connecting to the Database via Shared Servers (MTS).
• Database exists on the default Unix File system (UFS),
• Machine - SF25K SUN Server.
• Storage Box - Sun Store Edge 9980 V
• Sun Cluster filesystem is QFS

Any Docs, Links will help.

Cheers & thanks

Vivek
