Re: Oracle on Windows Volume Mount Points

Tod,

Maybe you should check support.microsoft.com there's a KB article 280297 that 
deals with just that (MS cluster server/volume mount points). There are loads 
of other mount point related articles..also check out 300415, dealing with 
'diskpart', a scriptable command line utility which you can use instead of the 
diskmanagment gui..
I haven't worked with MSCS and mount points the last years, but I think you 
should avoid 'dynamic' disks, only use 'basic' disks. Both RAC and ASM only 
support 'basic', so I wouldn't be surprised if failsafe has the same 
limitations..

regards,
Mario

Subject: Oracle on Windows Volume Mount Points


I currently have Oracle 9i running on Windows clusters using Fail Safe.  We are 
building new 10g clusters still using Fail Safe on Windows 2003 (I fought the 
Linux battle and lost, letʼs just leave it at that).  The system administrators 
now would like to use Windows volume mount points instead of drive letters for 
the new clusters.  I have been unable to find any documentation or even forum 
threads that talk about the support of mount points on Windows.  Does anyone 
know of documentation re: Oracleʼs support of this?  Is anyone else using this 
already that can share any experiences?
 
Thanks!
