Supported filesystems

The Oracle RAC database data files can be implemented on clustered filesystems or raw devices managed in Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM).

The filesystem is an important operating system component that is critical for both performance and data integrity. IBM® requires that Sterling™ Order Management System Software be configured and deployed only on filesystems that are approved and certified for use with RAC by the Oracle Corporation.

Sterling Order Management System Software has been tested with Oracle RAC running with:

• Raw devices
• Oracle Cluster File System (running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux®)

Sterling Order Management System Software does not support systems that run on non-Oracle RAC-supported filesystems such as the Sistina GFS.
