Oracle 10gR2 RAC on file system

Is it possible to install the Oracle 10gR2 RAC on SC 3.2 and use file system to store the database files? I know in Oracle 10gR2 RAC without SUN Cluster, I will only be able to use ASM or raw devices since OCFS for Solaris is not yet available, what if I use SUN Cluster can I have a file system to store the database files?

If possible, what file system type is available? I know that the global file system in SC 3.1 is not supported by Oracle as a place to store the database files.

Yes, both Sun Cluster 3.1 and Sun Cluster 3.2 support using either shared QFS as a file system to store all kinds of Oracle data: binaries, tablespaces, redos, controls, archives, etc. You can also use NAS too.

See the Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle RAC manual on docs.sun.com

Thanks TimDoes the QFS come with the SC 3.2? or it is bundled with the Solaris OS 10 ?

No, shared QFS is not bundled with Solaris or Sun Cluster. See http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/cluster/faq.jsp#q_20Tim

Is it possible to use the shared QFS in Oracle 10gR2 RAC without using the SUN Cluster? i.e. using the Oracle Clusterware

Shared QFS needs an agent to be highly available. This agent is bundled with QFS but needs SC3.x. I doubt that you could hack something to make it work without SC3.x. At least you would run into a support problem.
