metalink doc 403202.1 appears to support this config, but to me reads a
little unclear.
{
Applies to:
Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 9.2.0.5 to 10.2.0.3
Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit)
Goal
Is the Zeta File System (ZFS) of Solaris 10 certified/supported by
ORACLE for:
- Database
- RAC
Solution
Oracle certifies and support the RDBMS on the whole OS for non-RAC
installations. However if there is an exception, this should appear on
the Release Notes, or in the OS Oracle specific documentation manual.
As you are not specific to cluster file systems for RAC installations,
usually there is no problem on install Oracle on the file systems
provided by OS vendor.But if any underlying OS error is found then it
should be handled by the OS vendor.
Over the past few years Oracle has worked with all the leading system
and storage vendors to validate their specialized storage products,
under the Oracle Storage Compatibility Program (OSCP), to ensure these
products were compatible for use with the Oracle database. Under the
OSCP, Oracle and its partners worked together to validate specialized
storage technology including NFS file servers, remote mirroring, and
snapshot products.
At this time Oracle believes that these three specialized storage
technologies are well understood by the customers, are very mature, and
the Oracle technology requirements are well know. As of January, 2007,
Oracle will no longer validate these products.
On a related note, many Oracle customers have embraced the concept of
the resilient low-cost storage grid defined by Oracle's Resilient
Low-Cost Storage Initiative (leveraging the Oracle Database 10g
Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature to make low-cost, modular
storage arrays resilient), and many storage vendors continue to
introduce new, low-cost, modular arrays for an Oracle storage grid
environment. As of January, 2007, the Resilient Low-Cost Storage
Initiative is discontinued.
