Hi Arturo,

this is good news! I do not want to install ASM on my SAP hosts, and I'm
not responsible for the RAC nodes :-)

But I do have to install something to use ACFS (following SAP, this is
used along)? "zypper se acfs" does not find any packages :-(

Unfortunately, I don't find ASM or ACFS in the SLES Storage
Administration Guide :-( In the SLES HA Guide, there ist one chapter
about OCFS2, but nothing about ASM/ACFS :-(

Regards,
Werner
