Bill,
I don't have too much to add (I've done it both ways and not noticed much
difference).
However, at IOUG we were discussing the possibility of just having one set of
Oracle binary installs running on an NFS mount and shared betweeen servers.
There would have to be some symbolic links created for network parameter and
control files, but provisioning time for new machines would be greatly reduced.
Additionally, in a bigger environment, you could save a reasonable amount of
storage.
I know there are some process issues (patching, versioning) with this, but does
anyone see any large technical hurdles?

Subject: Oracle installation on Local disk vs. SAN
Greetings,
We have just purchased a new very large SAN to which we will be migrating
several databases. There are also two new servers which will be connected to
this SAN. We will be running RHEL5 and Oracle 11g. We are in the midst of a
discussion with the system administrator who wants us to install Oracle on the
SAN rather than the local disk on the new server. We, the DBAs would like to
have it installed on the local disk, of which there is plenty.
We are wondering about the pros and cons of installing Oracle on the local disk
versus the SAN. All comments appreciated.
Thanks.
