Why SAN is preferred to setup RAC ?

JhilJan 14 2018 — edited Jan 19 2018

Dear Linux Admins,

We are using STORAGE from EMC for RAC Databases (11.2,0.3)

What I observed 'most of the Oracle's RAC Databases' are running on 'SAN STORAGE' .

1)  Why SAN storage is much preferred to setup RAC  and Why NOT  NAS ?   Cant we setup RAC on NAS Storage  ?

2) How do i check , my storage is SAN or NAS ?  IS there any commands to check ?

Thanks
