Hello everybody, 

I read Oracle RAC10gR2 plus GFS 6.1 (Using RHCS for v4 U3) documentation and Oracle will only support an implementation of GFS using GULM lock servers in conjunction with the RAC solution. 
The documentation says that the lock servers (3 machines separate from the RAC nodes, for example) also need access to the storage, why ? Could someone explain why the lock servers also need access to the shared storage and acess to which LUNs? 

Regards,
