DBAs,

I am currently reviewing options for Oracle 11 RAC on Solaris 10 and one
of the proposals on the table is:

- Use CRS as the only clusterware on the box
- Use ASM for database (clustered) storage 
- Use Veritas VxFS on VxVM for (non-clustered) filesystems.

Has anyone else had experience with a similar set-up?  If not, what do
you use for RAC on Solaris?

I have seen SFRAC for cluster and storage on Oracle 10, but it seemed to
disolve into cross-department finger pointing as soon as there was an
issue with the cluster, the network or the storage.  (Also, I understand
it's not certified for 11g yet.)

Your thoughts appreciated.

Duncan.
