Are you hoping to have failover paths to each disk? We have the EMC CX500
with RHEL3, though we aren't running 10g as the db (we are playing with
9iR2 in a RAC configuration though). If you want failover for the paths,
you will need (to pay for) EMC's PowerPath. What are you planning to keep
on the SAN? Everything (boot off of it and OS install) or just the RACed
DB? There are some issues with booting LX off of the EMC array.
