use ocfs2 to share filesystems this will not disturb clusterware (
well, more traffic in the interconnect, as natural )<br>
<br>Even in the case of need to use ocfs2 to give concurrency to an
installed clusterware RAC, you will have downtime while reallocating
crs/ocr destinations but can be done safely without reinstall. FYI: Is
what you must do in case of clusterware 10gR2 on RHEL 5 and EMC
Powerpath 5.1 storage<br>
