Tim, Thanks for your response !. We contacted Oracle Support, for the answer (Not sales). We will eventually go to a non-clustered file system when we convert this to non-RAC. We are checking our options for the best plan to accompilsh this. About licensing. Looks like Oracle is going to charge us about the same price with the non-RAC solution as they would take all the big discounts off from the licensing cost, that they gave us for RAC :-) Qaiser ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
