Zhu Chao, Folks, Other than for manageability convenience, How is a Big 4 TB NON-RAC "UFS" mounted Database to be converted into a RAW device based RAC database? Is there any option Other then export from mounted Database & import into RAW Database? Hence RAW is being avoided for now. Thanks indeed ________________________________ From: Zhu,Chao [mailto:zhuchao@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 6:41 PM To: VIVEK_SHARMA Subject: Re: Veritas CFS or QFS ?

RAW is being considered only as a last resort & ASM being avoided for now as it is still seemingly NEW & probably NOT so much tried & tested as yet with High Load Production sites. Config info:- Approx 20,000 Concurrent OLTP sessions will be spawned Num of Database Server Nodes = 4 Each DB Server Node = 28 CPUs Oracle Shared Servers will be used DB Size = 4 TB Will provide any Clarifications, Thanks indeed. **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
