Re: compelling arguments for a ThirdParty Cluster

simple words

if Oracle Clusterware fencing is not reliable we would have seen already data corruptions issues

plus, RAC internally has algorithm to avoid data corruptions when cache fusion communications suffers problems

interconnect is not SPOF if you protect it with bonding or teaming

I am not sure what is your point about LUNs but I have been in many sites and asking for 5 1GB LUNs does not seem problem at all

Thanks
