I agree. OS & Swap Mirrored on local disks. Oracle Home & Databases (shared
OH) reside on SAN.

Subject: Re: Oracle installation on Local disk vs. SAN
Currently, we always install on the SAN. (Local disks are used for OS
only.) I don't buy the argument about "what if you lose your SAN
connection" -- if your datafiles are there anyway, then you won't be
running the database without it. I agree with Michael about the benefit
of remounting on another server - that's an advantage of having the
binaries and database in the same place.
