Does Oracle work with network attached (i.e. NFS) file servers?
Oracle has validated a selected number of file server products under the Oracle Storage Compatibility Program (OSCP), and Oracle database should work properly with these products. Please check the OSCP program web site for the latest list of compatible products and configurations. Storing Oracle on a network attached files server has some advantages such as reliable storage and centralized storage management, but may not be appropriate under all circumstances.
