Re: shared storage solution

:) Thanks a lot for all the input by you guys.

I also want to share my findings from Kevin Closson. He has a lot of IO related knowledge.

http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/06/14/manly-men-deploy-oracle-with-fibre-channel-only-oracle-over-nfs-is-weird/

From his article, NFS is not a bad choice(netapps), in Oracle 11g, seems oracle provide its NFS solutions. let me come again with more...

anyway, thanks a lot ^=^
