Peter,
If you are using a san, you probably don't need to spread the datafiles across
disk yourself.

Hi.
Given that you are using ASM then I see no reason to not use OMF, it makes it
a lot easier if you just let Oracle do the management. When you drop a
tablespace, it removes the data files for you. The only reason I would not use
OMF would in fact be if the system were not using ASM, because then to spread
the datafiles across disk you have to change the location where the database
will put them.
Regards
Pete

Well, I'm using it for several databases at customer sites and I must say I
like it.
It makes the administration easier and gives less chance for errors. I
especially like it for dataguard environments (no more *name_convert
parameters).
The database files are all placed on a san, so there is also no real reason to
spread out the datafiles over various filesystems.
As the current environment is using ASM, you are in fact already using OMF. So,
the only difference in administration would be that you can now see your
datafiles on the filesystem.

Hi group,
I have to move a 10g (10.2.0.3) application off a Solaris 10 machine
(using ASM) to a Windows 2003 server (don't ask).
The required application is only one smallish schema, so I'm going to
pre-create a database (10.2.0.4) and use export/import.
I'm thinking of using OMF. Does anyone here have any views on OMF. My
research has come up with the following:
Primary advantage seems to be management (no need to specify file
names/locations...)
The list of disadvantages I have found are all dismissable for this
particular application.
File System only - I'm OK with that
Naming Standards - No issue for this database
Tuning - Again no issue for this database.
Regards.
