5.1 Shared System Image.

I am in the very early stages of planning a new 5.1 cluster, and have a very
simple question, (using the fine book by Tim
Donar, Trun64 Unix-Oracle 9i Cluster, Quick Reference)

If I create a "test" cluster consisting of a DS10/DS20 combined with a
HSG80, Raid 5 44 Gb Shared System Image disk.
The DS10 would have the Unix Install Disk. (We own the DS10 and the DS20 is
a loaner.)

When it comes time to "cut" over to production, can I simply add the two
current production DS20's, and remove
the DS10/DS20 "test" systems.

My thinking is : I will have a "patched" production ready 5.1 environment
already installed on my SAN, why
not make use of it for production.

One concern would be that the production DS20's would not have a local
install disk.

Will summarize.

Thank You

Darren
