Both Oracle and the RAC-SIG have a number of papers on this topic, and "Best Practices" for RAC in general. Beware, some of them are more like sales pitches or cookbooks, but most of it is still good to read. MAA for ASM: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/MAA_WP_10gASMMi gration.pdf MEtalink note 312731.1 (ASM with RAC): http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showNOT?p_id=312 731.1 From RAC-SIG, a whitepaper: http://www.oracleracsig.org/pls/apex/Z?p_url=RAC_SIG.download_my_file?p_ file=1002242&p_id=1002242&p_cat=documents&p_user=nobody&p_company=994323 795175833 These are just a few. Lots of people have blogged on the topic as well, but where do you draw the line at "Best Practice"? Who has to say it in order for it to be accepted as such?
