Luc,

There really is no reason to *not* use the SAN for Oracle software.  One
benefit of doing so is that, if you are planning on failing the EMC disk
over to another server, the Oracle software goes with it.  The only negative
is cost - EMC disk is much more expensive than internal disk.

I have implemented it both ways and saw no impact on the database at all.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Hi gurus,

We are in the process to implement a EMC SAN.
What the pros and cons about installating the oracle software on the SAN or
on
the local disks ?

Thank you
Luc
