We are implementing MC/Serviceguard here for failover, and I have some
questions about configuration/placement of Oracle files.

Our Oracle environment:

Oracle 8.1.6 (64-bit)
HP-UX 11.0 (64-bit)

We are not running OPS.  The shared disks are on HP AutoRaid.

Do all Oracle files need to be on the shared disks?  I know that the
datafiles for all data/index/rbs tablespaces need to be there, as well as
the control files and online redo logs.  How about datafiles for temp
tablespaces or archive logs?  One other thing:  would it be possible to have
the Oracle binaries *not* be on shared disks, so that for Oracle
upgrades/patches we could failover, upgrade/patch Oracle on the primary
host, then fail back to the primary and upgrade/patch Oracle on the backup
host?

Thanks in advance!

Riley
