I would not have an issue with monitoring scripts… However, anything diagnostic
or the like I’d keep on local storage…

Robert, how would you feel about having a library of monitoring scripts on an
nfs mount? I do this so that scripts are available on every Oracle server. I
also backup config files, etc. to this mount making it easy for me to scan, in
a single directory, something like all cron backup files to see where something
is running. It's these things why I feel the nfs mount serves a great benefit.
And many others...

Mike,
We Run our RAC databases using NFS as the shared media for datafiles. We have
yet to have a failure because of NFS. We don’t use shared software directories
however, just local directories.
My personal preference is for local software.

I had someone tell me today that nfs should not be relied on and it should not
be used for a shared mount that needed to be reliably available.
Has anyone ever hear this before?
