NFS will work only if you are using Network Appliance.  Just plain UNIX NFS 
will not work.  You will get a corrupt database.

Subject: datafiles on NFS?

I've got a 9iR2 database on an AIX server which is currently experiencing some 
SAN problems.  The SysAdmins have indicated that we need to move off the SAN 
for several days while they address the issue, and has suggested that we 
relocate the database to NFS in the interim.  My preference would be a 
backup/restore to another server, but we unfortunately don't have any other AIX 
systems available, and the application has some constraints which prevent us 
from migrating to another OS at present.

I'm somewhat reluctant to use NFS for Oracle datafiles, largely because we 
simply haven't done this for any other environments, but I'm not sure that I 
have many options in this specific case.  Is anyone doing this?  If so, is 
there anything in particular that I should be sure to check/address?

Thanx!
