George,
When do you need this by?
We have about 24 instances supported by about 10 SUN servers that we are about to set up a cluster with. Yes QA on one side and live DB on the other side is a good way to go as it will reduce the confusion of what is where in each side of the cluster.
We have mounts that get to areas for files, however, we have sub directories that are broken down by SID (Oracle term for a unique DB instance). We then use .cshrc<SID> files for each SID and only have about 4 mount points per server. We then just establish an environment into the proper paths for the specific database or SID.
I can dig up more info for you on Monday. We have been running like this for a couple of years and like the ease of layout.
Thanks, Monday is fine. I have to propose something to my DBAs soon as the new F840 head is arriving next week and then its Xmas. The time to do the re-org.
By having only about 4 mount points, were you implying that you mount at the volume level and not each individual SID qtree level ? Therefore reducing the number of mounts? If yes, I thought about that too but folks here are hesitant since each DB server will be able to see other good things that are in that volume.
