Yes, I noticed the following in the RACGuides_Rac11gR1OnHPUX pdf:

We recommend to create a special Oracle device directory, and to use mknod to create device paths in
this special Oracle folder. This has the advantage, that you get same names for OCR and Voting files
across all nodes in the cluster. In addition, it ensures that the permissions of these Oracle device files remain untouched of 'insf −e'.

Thanks again!
