Deen, I am keeping all of the Oracle files (including dump directories) on shared disks. These disks then fail over when MCS/OFS fail to the other box. Makes in cleaner, in my view, that the *total* Oracle database fails over as one unit.
I have the Oracle software installed on local disks (drive c) on each machine. Of course, this means that I have two copies of the init.ora, Listener.ora, and Tns/Sqlnet.ora files, but since these change so infrequently (my NT system is dedicated to one Oracle application) this is not a big deal for me. Hope this helps, fellow DOL person!

I saw some people keeping them on shared disks, some people keeping them on Local disks. Are there any Advantages and disadvantages with either of the approaches.
