We did a similar move but the opposite direction  using rman. it woked 
beautifully.
i did do test my back out plan but moving the datafiles  back to raw and it 
worked too.
this was a non rac instance and i dont think that will matter 
just use the datafilecopy of rman  
and then alter database datafile  to  rename the datafiles in the database.

Subject: AIX GPFS to Raw Devices


Our O/S team is looking to move our file system from current GPFS 2.3
to a file system 
of Raw Devices.  AIX 5.2 and Oracle 9206.  We have disabled RAC and are
in the
process of relinking the libraries with RAC off, although once we
migrate to 10g, we
will enable RAC again.   Is this O/S file system move doable and what
are some
of my concerns from the Oracle standpoint?  
What should we be aware of?  Do I have to export/import database or can
we move 
files at O/S level?  Are there any best practice papers for this?   I
have not used Raw 
Devices w/oracle...are there papers for running Oracle on Raw Devices?
I've found 
no information on Metalink, but I have opened an SR. 

Any thoughts, comments appreciated.  Thanks.
