One of the new features in Clusterware 11.2.0.1 is that ocr and voting disk must be either on shared files system or in ASM, raw devices are only supported if you upgrade  from one version to the other.

Whereas in 10gR2 you could make use of raw devices for voting disks and ocr, in 11g it is only allowed/supported if you upgrade, since this is clean installation we cannot go that way.  In the 10.2 environment we had 3 voting disks and 2 OCR disks configured ..

Voting and ocr disks are now in ASM depending on the redundancy there are multiple copies. If you use external redundancy as we do for our datadisk and archive diskgroup, the voting disk is only stored once.

as shown here

crsctl query css votedisk## STATE File Universal Id File Name Disk group— —– —————– ——— ———1. ONLINE 55b5a82167444ff3bfa0ad1bdc8f99fb (/dev/rdsk/c6t60060E80058DA50000008DA500000007d0s0) [DATADG1]Located 1 voting disk(s).

therefore we decided to create a seperate diskgroup with a higher redundancy to store voting disks.

Same thing for the OCR disk

this needs to be done as root …
