Oracle clusterware, you can download it from oracle in the same location
the platform db packages are in.

It is not supported to host datafiles, control files or other oracle
specific files.
If that is what you are intending to do look at Oracle ASM (Automatic
Storage management) to solve your problem. Downside is, you will not
have a full blown filesystem to work with. Backups and accessing files
sotred in ASM in general can only be done through rman (and asmcmd to a
limited extent).
