What are the dependencies between OCFS and ASM in Oracle Database 10g ?
In an Oracle RAC 10g environment, there is no dependency between Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS).OCFS is not required if you are using Automatic Storage Management (ASM) for database files. You can use OCFS on Windows( Version 2 on Linux ) for files that ASM does not handle – binaries (shared oracle home), trace files, etc.
