I wouldn't rely on the storage mirroring for the voting disk. I would have it
redundant within Oracle also - as you would for controlfiles, online redo logs,
etc. I have seen it happen before where a flaw in the mirroring technology
resulted in the loss of a file. The system had been created with single online
redo logs because the disk was mirrored, but the mirroring failed and the
database failed with it.

So it appears that your single voting disk is on a mirrored LUN (RAID 1 or 5),
I don't consider this a single point of failure.
