Re: Oracle 9i RAC without Raw devices

Have you looked into Veritas Database Edition/ Advanced Cluster for Oracle 9i RAC.

Whilst a bit pricey it seems to be the only current solution for what you propose.

The attached PDF provides an overview.

Re: Oracle 9i RAC without Raw devices

Veritas DB Edition is the only option with their clustered file system. This is not as good for performance as raw, because only 1 node can write, the other nodes (slaves) must ship their IOs to the node that can write (master). When the master fails a slave becomes master. This sounds worse than the cons of using raw.
