Hi Bill,
In my opinion, it would make more sense to install them locally, so that oracle home availability is not dependent upon SAN reachability(howsoever unlikely).
Plus, if by oracle on SAN install, you mean a shared copy of oracle
home, in lots of operational circumstances, it would not be wise. If
the purpose is simply to have a
golden copy /image for any cloning, that can be surely preserved on a SAN.
Also, the underlying premise seems to be that the database would always need a SAN. Perhaps it is true in your case, however, you need to double check any of the assumptions.
