    Is Oracle Direct NFS is enabled :    
    Note: Oracle Direct NFS is applicable for Oracle Database version >= 11g
    and involves manual steps to enable the same before starting the OLT tests.
    For more information on enabling Oracle Direct NFS refer metalink

    Note: Oracle recommends using block devices for 10.2.0.4/11g. 
    As raw devices are being deprecated in 2.6 kernel it is advised 
    to use block over raw for OCR/Voting disks.

destructive testcases in case of multipathing.

There are some additional recommended settings to be used for  RAC:

    1. Hangcheck timer : This module needs to be loaded on all the nodes in
       the cluster with the below  settings ,

       Hangcheck timer settings : (for both 10gR2 and 11g)

       Assuming "CSS misscount" is  60 seconds  on your setup , reload
       the hangcheck timer with the below settings on all the nodes 
       in the cluster
       hangcheck_tick=1 hangcheck_margin=10 hangcheck_reboot=1

       a) Add these settings to /etc/modprobe.conf 
       b) Reload the hang check timer module.
       c) Verify these settings in the var/log/messages once the 
          module is reloaded.

    2. oprocd settings : ( For  oracle version 10.2.0.4 & 11g ONLY )
       It is recommended to set diagwait to 13. 
       a) To set this value, run
          the below command  on all the nodes in the cluster.
          #crsctl stop crs
          #<CRS_HOME>/bin/oprocd stop
          #crsctl set css diagwait 13 -force
          #crsctl start crs
       b) To verify : run
          #crsctl get css diagwait; and
          #ps -ef |grep oprocd
          With the recommended diagwait set to 13, the output in ps for
          oprocd shoudl show
          <>  <>      <> /crs11g/bin/oprocd run -t 1000 -m 10000 -f

NOTE:
Any parameter settings used for the testing which are NOT the default should be documented with justifications.
