9iRAC on SAN ?

2003-01-07 Thread Hemant K Chitale

I have a question from my SysAdmin/Storage guys.

How can an Oracle 9iRAC database run on a SAN ?
A SAN supposedly allows only one node to access
a disk.  Can multiple nodes in a 9iRAC cluster
access database files on a SAN ?

We can understand a dual-hosted (or is it
dual-ported ?) Storage which allows two nodes
to access the disks.

Is there a difference for the SAN implementation
if the DB server is 
HPUX (Database Files on Raw Devices) or 
Tru64 (Database Files on a Cluster File System) ?

The 9iRAC interconnect which comes with the product is specific to the
hardware platform and manages the connectivity failover in concert with the
cluster software.
