Hello All,

    I need to configure Oracle 9i RAC on MS-Windows 2000. I will be
using Oracle Clustered File System for datafiles. I just need to know
if the srvcfg and spfile file will reside on raw partition or on
clustered file system. The Oracle documentation - Oracle9 i Real
Application Clusters - Setup and Configuration Part No. A96600-02
states that:

"On Windows NT and Windows 2000, configure a Cluster Manager (CM)
voting disk/SRVM Configuration Disk. Label this raw partition as
srvcfg by creating an Object Link Manager (OLM) symbolic link to a raw
partition that is at least
100MB in size."

 The above scenario will apply if I configure datafiles on RAW
partitions. But I will be using OCFS for datafiles. So please reply if
I can use OCFS for srvcfg and spfile files or should I configure raw
partitions to hold the same.

Regards,
Bruce
