Oracle on Windows... well this is more of a religious topic and I'm a
bit religious here even though I happen to administer few Windows
environments. :-)
I don't have any experience with ASM on Windows (I wouldn't even think
that it works but apparently it supposed to). I also don't know anyone
using ASM on Windows from which I can conclude that relying on storage
stack that very few Oracle customers use is a recipe for disaster.
Now if I add RAC there... Hm.. some people travel god knows where to
find some exotic adventures but here is an excellent opportunity! ;-)
Windows + Oracle + RAC + ASM = WORA (what a fun project) %)
PS: Sorry for being a little sarcastic but I couldn't resist!
