Hey Matt Ungaro,
ASM? Hmmmmmmmmmm! "One COKE" for you! hehe.

Starting with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2), Oracle Clusterware
should be installed in a separate Oracle Clusterware home directory.
This is a change to the Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) rules. You
should not install Oracle Clusterware in a release-specific Oracle home
mount point, typically /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0, as succeeding
versions of Oracle Clusterware will overwrite the Oracle Clusterware
installation in the same path. Also, If Oracle Clusterware 10g Release 2
(10.2) detects an existing Oracle Cluster Ready Services installation,
then it overwrites the existing installation in the same path.

It depends! Now-a-days the big deciding factor, I think, is what
filesystem
you use. If you go with ASM, then placement of log files, control files,
archivelogs, and data files, are all kinda transparent, so OFA isn't
really
applicable.

Now if you are using a traditional filesystem, OFA is still applicable,
and
just good 'ol best practice.

However I can't stand the designations of /u01, /u02, etc, etc. It's
very
non-descript.

Matt

To All,
It's Fridayyyyyyyy! Partyyyyyyyyyy! Hehe. Now so fast! It's test
time!
Hehe. Can you win "the COKE"? hehe.

Question: Now that we are using SANs, etc, there is no longer a need
to
continue to use the Oracle Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA)
guidelines.
True or False. Please provide proof! Hehe.
