Hi all,

I was wondering if you could answer the following question for me?

"A customer thinks they can run Oracle ASM (it's a form of virtual
storage), with DAS, then connect multiple other Oracle servers to it
and make it a RAC/Grid cluster, sharing the 1st servers virtual drive
pool."

This versus a FC SAN.

Is this doable?

Thanks,

Bret

RAC has nothing to do with GRID. GRID has nothing to do with RAC.
And ASM has nothing to do with either RAC or GRID. They are three
entirely separate technologies each of which can be utilized
independent of the other two or in any combination of 2 or all
3 together. And ASM has nothing to do with virtual storage.

I'd suggest you refer your customer to the concept docs.
