Currently, we always install on the SAN.  (Local disks are used for OS
only.)  I don't buy the argument about "what if you lose your SAN
connection" -- if your datafiles are there anyway, then you won't be
running the database without it.  I agree with Michael about the benefit
of remounting on another server - that's an advantage of having the
binaries and database in the same place.
